Representative Trey Gowdy (R-SC) fired back at Harry Reid last night after the Senate Minority Leader suggested that James Comey broke federal laws with his announcement about Hillary Clinton.

In a letter Reid put out last night, he accused the FBI director of practicing a “double standard” and using his position to spread negative innuendo in order to influence the election. Fox’s Bret Baier asked Gowdy for his thoughts on Sunday night, to which, the congressman wondered if Reid is the one who’s really under the influence.

“Thank God he’s leaving, is my initial reaction,” Gowdy said. “My second reaction is: I did not know Mormons used drugs. And anyone who is capable of sending out that press release has to be under the influence of something.”

Howdy went on to say that Clinton authored her own actions by having a private server while she worked as the secretary of state.

1. If I were Reid, I would respond thusly:

And I didn't know citizens of Remulak were allowed to run for Congress in South Carolina, so we're even.

[titaniumsalute]

2. Gowdy is a complete piece of shit

Of course if the FBI Director put out BS on Trump 11 days before the election HE would have written the same letter. Partisan hackery and hypocrisy at its finest.

[Dawson Leery]

3. The kkkonfederat swine is clearly mad at McMullin too.

[Foggyhill]

4. Clinton fucked him up and he's still sore

Guess he doesn't think the hacking is not done by Russia dear asswipe

[world wide wally]

5. I would just go straight to charging Comey with violating the Hatch Act and hold a series of press

conferences asking for the information on Trump

[wordpix]

25. yes, Gowdy Gomer is just a distraction

Go, Hillary!

[underpants]

6. Gowdy called Reid a "political hack"

This from a guy who got ass so worn out by Hillary over 11 hours that he walked out a sweaty mess.

[horseshoecrab]

37. Trey "Flop Sweat" Gowdy...

Sweat rollin' down his forehead. Sweat rollin' down his face. Sweat rolling down his ... wherever...
That was a beautiful thing to see.

[Liberalagogo]

7. Traitor says what?

n/t

[madamesilverspurs]

8. There's a reason

why, after that 11-hour hearing, Hillary looked comfortable and collected while Gowdy looked like a glob of melting silly putty.

10. it's what earned her my vote

[George II]

11. This tells it all:

[monmouth4]

12. You can tell he is very agitated and she is happy. HA!..n/t

[wordpix]

26. LOL, great photo

[George II]

9. What an ass. I didn't know Trey and Donald had the same hairdresser.

[elehhhhna]

19. Forehead dresser.

Words matter.

Lol

[jmowreader]

22. They use the same hairstyling tools

[stage left]

13. Oh how I despise Trey Gowdy.

Even more so since he's my congressman. GAG! I just donated to Chris Fedelai, his Democratic opponent, though the chance of Gowdy losing is slim. I can still hope, I guess.

[still_one]

14. So Gowdy can make anti-Morman slurs, and no one calls him one it.

[Cha]

23. Really. Mark Kirk didn't fare so well when he went

racist on Tammy Duckworth.. why isn't Gowdy being raked for his stupid Mormon insult?

[still_one]

29. Exactly Cha

[ck4829]

15. And how many investigations would Trey need to figure that out?

[ananda]

17. Typical pre-K response.

I swear more and more Reeps act like two-year-olds these days!

[riversedge]

18. Gowdy needs to apologize! It is wrong to bring religion into his comments about Ried. WRONG.

[Wellstone ruled]

20. Wow,this is interesting to say the least.

Gowdy just pissed on his meal ticket,his cohort Jason Chaffetz is a Mormon with a Temple Recommend,and this is not going to go unnoticed by other Republican Members of Congress who are Mormon's. Some where in the neighborhood of about 40 persons. Realize Gowdy's I.Q. is about Ice Cube Temp,going to be interesting. What say you Orin Hatch or Mike Lee and others.

[wolfie001]

24. Stupid redneck!

Exactly the thoughtless remark I'd expect from him.

[getagrip_already]

27. gowdy is an idiot - lots of mormons are addicted....

not harry, but drug abuse is a huge problem among mormons in utah. Not kidding about that.

gowdy is too stupid to know that though, so he makes a bad joke.

For example...

1. Out of all 50 US states, Utah has the eighth-highest prescription overdose death rate.

(Source: Utah’s Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health)

In a community where most inhabitants try to live a clean, healthy lifestyle, prescription medications often fall into a “gray” area, with many people believing they are safe and acceptable. Unfortunately, the addictiveness of many prescription pills, including opioid pain medications in particular, has led to Utah becoming one of the most addicted states in the nation.


2. Pill-related deaths in Utah have increased by 400 percent in the past decade.

(Source: Utah’s Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health)

While most people will be surprised by this statistic, medical professionals and policymakers who have been following the trend of prescription drug abuse will not be. According to a report by the Trust for America’s Health (TFAH), prescription drug related deaths nationwide now outnumber deaths from cocaine and heroin combined.


3. With 60 percent of Utah residents being members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, many people affected by pill addiction in Utah are Mormon.

(Source: CNN.com)

Drug use is strictly forbidden in the LDS community, but many people don’t view medications prescribed by a doctor as being an illicit substance. Sadly, many drug addictions start innocently, with an injured or sick person simply seeking relief from their painful symptoms. In the worst cases, some pill addicts eventually turn to street drugs like heroin when they realize it is a cheaper way to get their fix
