"U.S. Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Tyler, has tested positive for the new coronavirus, he said in an interview with East Texas Now where he speculated that he may have caught the virus from wearing his mask.
.....
“I can’t help but wonder ... if I injected the virus into my mask when I was moving,” he said in an interview.

...

Gohmert said he received guidance from the doctors at the White House and the attending physician at the Capitol that he only needed to self-quarantine for 10 days. He said he will drive back to his East Texas home and that his staff is all getting tested for the virus.

“Like Dorothy said, there’s no place like home,” Gohmert said."...(more stupidity at link)

1. It's the condom's fault I got pregnant

[agingdem]

4. thinking the same thing...

so the putz is driving back to Texas ..lets see there are how many states between DC and Texas?...I assume at some point they're going to have to gas up...and maybe go to the bathroom...wonder how many people the idiot is going to infect from there to home?

9. I looked up the driving distance from D.C. to his hometown of Tyler, TX,

and it's nearly 20 hours of driving. You are right about needing several stops along the way for meals, gas, at least one night's accommodation, etc. That's not the usual definition of self isolation or quarantine!

[PCIntern]

23. Sounds like the New Yorker in Stephen King's The Stand

He stopped for gas in Texas and took the virus up to NY

2. Republicans can't comprehend basic science that a third grader can understand.

They don't understand how the female reproductive system works so of course they don't have a clue about airborn particles.

3. You are supposed to inject bleach into your mask, not virus.

[Tanuki]

6. He should have called Ghostbuster doc Stella Immanuel

to exorcise any demons that might have been clinging to his mask!
😈

[lagomorph777]

8. I'm sure Dr. Demon Semen will fix him right up with some HydroCloroxyQuine

or something...

[Ohiogal]

5. What a maroon!

[tavernier]

7. Why only 10 days?

Does it go away faster on stupid people? Covid prefers a host with an IQ over 40?

[onethatcares]

10. he probably thinks

that he can out run it if he drives really fast or the virus can't cling to the windshield at speeds above 65 mph.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

21. Recently the CDC said that a 10 day isolation

was sufficient.

[yardwork]

11. Gohmert might be the stupidest person in the world.

I mean, somebody is. It might be him.

[Tanuki]

26. Definitely the stupidest in Congress,

among a wide field of GOP contenders!

[dawg day]

12. Is he going to sleep in his car?

I wouldn't want to be the clerk who has t check him in to a motel.

[alphafemale]

22. That is a two day trip at least, depending on where in TX he lives

Maybe three.

Hotel staff exposed and also all the times getting food and gas.

Very irresponsible.

Not that I am surprised by that ass clown.

14. WTH take it home to the family.

The family that covidiots together and all th a t.

[AJT]

15. He is asymptomatic. Republicans always seem to be asymptomatic

when the get covid-19.

[LisaL]

17. Hardly. Herman Cain is still in the hospital.

[AJT]

18. I should have been more clear, people currently in congress

or working for 45.

[LizBeth]

16. He is going to have to stay in an hotel, and worked called yesterday to see about me coming back to

work, in an hotel, lol. No. I still do not want to because of assholes with covid making a three/four day drive and having to stay in an hotel.

[Eyeball_Kid]

19. Louie somehow got a spurt of

DEMON SPERM. Where’s that Doc? Get him a malaria drug!

[C_U_L8R]

20. Romney can tie him to the roof

[PCIntern]

24. OK: this is the comic thread of the year

If not the decade.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 😂😂😂

[Liberal In Texas]

25. 19.5 hour drive from D.C. to Tyler Tx.

It's possible he's making one or more of his staff drive him back so it could be done without stopping for anything but fuel and food. I wouldn't want to run into his little gang at the Cracker Barrel.

[Tanuki]

28. Maybe he'll wear a NASA diaper, like that crazy Astronaut lady did,

so he won't even have to stop for bathroom breaks!

"In February 2007, U.S. astronaut Lisa Nowak drove from Houston, Texas, to Orlando, Florida, to confront the woman who'd won the affections of an astronaut that Nowak had been involved with. Instead of having the conversation she claimed she'd wanted, Nowak was arrested for attacking the other woman. A story about the space program and an out-of-control love triangle would naturally capture attention, but the reported detail that Nowak wore diapers on her 900-mile drive in order to avoid bathroom breaks transformed the incident into irresistible fodder for tabloids and late-night talk shows alike (though Nowak's attorney would later insist his client never put on diapers). Nowak was an inspiration the 2019 film Lucy in the Sky, which stars Natalie Portman as an astronaut named Lucy Cola."

There's always a rich Rethug with a private jet looking for brownie points.
