Rep. Louie Gohmert: The sequester an Obama conspiracy to fund ‘ACORN-like groups

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) suggested Wednesday the sequester was a conspiracy by President Barack Obama to cut defense spending and raise money for community organizing groups.

Speaking on the House floor, Gohmert said the timing of Obama’s meeting with congressional leaders over the sequester was evidence the President really wanted the across-the-board budget cuts to happen. He claimed the sequester was actually a plot by Obama to cut defense spending and transfer money to “ACORN-like” groups that would help elect Democratic candidates.

“We hear today the President is now saying on Friday after the sequestrations have started and the military is having all these massive layoffs — and actually the truth be known, after the President will have gotten what he’s been hoping and trying to get for years even as a U.S. senator and that is big cuts to the Defense Department — after the Defense Department cuts kick in then and only then is he going to sit down and talk to congressional leaders,” he said.

“We’ll that’s not hard to figure out,” Gohmert continued. “What a great political ploy. What a great political plan to a year and a half ago come up with the idea, which the White House did, they came up with the idea of this massive sequester, and the biggest loser would be the Defense Department.”
