Gohmert: Radical Muslims ‘being trained to come in and act like Hispanics’

Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert (R) on Wednesday connected the Monday bombings in Boston to the immigration debate and warned that “radical Islamists” were “being trained to come in and act like Hispanics.”

During an interview on C-SPAN, host Greta Wodele Brawner asked the Texas Republican about a bipartisan “Gang of Eight” proposal in the Senate that would increase funding for border security by $5.5 billion over ten years and establish a 13-year pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.

“What I first thought after my prayers went for the victims and the families in Boston is, ‘My gosh, we’ve seen this in Israel,’” Gohmert recalled. “And after Israel had to suffer the slings and arrows and the deaths and the maimings… Finally the Israeli people said, ‘You know what? Enough.’ They built, over 70 percent of it is just a fence, and the rest is a wall, prevents snipers from knocking off their kids. And they finally stopped the domestic violence from people that wanted to destroy them.”

“And I’m concerned we need to do that as well,” he insisted.

More stupid here

This guy was a judge? More proof that the RW information bubble breeds stupid.

2. I was forced to sit through my Daughter's college graduation

and he was the speaker.

If my daughter had already walked across the stage, I would have left.

He was inciting these graduates to "take their country back".

It was horrible.

But you had it way worse with Gohmert. Ick.

That these racist fuckwads just come out and say shit like that and since it is Texas, about a million heads nod in agreement without knowing what the fuck 'acting like a Hispanic' even means!

My state is full of racist morans.

We have WAY TOO many of these particular types of morans. They are not only an embarrassment to the state, but an embarrassment to humanity as well.

Gohmert = wasted space between ears.
