Louie Gohmert Says Don't Listen to John McCain, As He 'Supported Al Qaeda'


ERIC LEVENSON 273 Views4:08 PM ET

Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert said Sen. John McCain "supported al Qaeda and rebels" in Syria while speaking at the Values Voter Summit on Friday. Gohmert accused the Vietnam veteran of supporting the enemy to explain why Republicans shouldn't listen when McCain says the GOP can't win the government shutdown. (Recent polls show the GOP is being crushed in the government shutdown.)

"I heard just before I came some senator from Arizona," Gohmert said, a slight referring to McCain that brought out some audience laughter. "A guy that liked Qadaffi before he wanted to bomb him, a guy that liked Mubarak before he wanted him out, a guy that's been to Syria and supported Al-Qaeda and rebels." Finally, he gets to his main point. "But he was saying today 'The shutdown has been a fool's errand.' And I agree with him. The President and Harry Reid should not have shut this government down," he said to applause.
