The always reliable Louie Gohmert weighs in on Nigeria and Boko Haram...

Reliably stupid, that is.

Gohmert: America Will Be Judged By God For Refusing To Help Nigeria Fight Terrorism Until It Legalizes Gay Marriage

Submitted by Kyle Mantyla on Wednesday, 4/29/2015 12:33 pm

Rep. Louie Gohmert appeared on Glenn Beck's television program last night where he repeated his allegation that the Obama administration is refusing to help the government of Nigeria fight the radical Islamist group Boko Haram until the country legalizes gay marriage and abortion. (In reality, the U.S. has held off on some assistance because Nigeria's military has been involved in human rights abuses and several Nigerian military leaders were even convicted of arming Boko Haram).

"This administration has demanded that they change the law to accept gay marriage," Gohmert asserted, saying that he heard from fellow members of Congress who had traveled to Nigeria and spoke with local religious leaders that the Nigerian government had been told by the United States that they would not be helped in their fight against terrorism "unless we legalize same-sex marriage."

And my congressman, Glenn Grothmann has mostly kept his big mouth shut since being elected.
