Louie Gohmert: “There was a press conference we had with all these mothers and the three girls sitting in the back, but it was amazing…”

“There was a press conference we had with all these mothers and the three girls sitting in the back, but it was amazing to hear the comments of all of those Nigerians. All of their comments showed forth faith. It is amazing. I doubt that I would have said the same things that I said there in a press conference here, but since this is a big group of people who were either committed Christians or Muslims that are moderate, peace-loving people, I pointed out to them that it was obvious Boko Haram means this for evil. They mean to harm decent, innocent people just because they are Christians--some are moderate Muslims--but they meant it for evil. This brought me back to a place a long way from my home in the U.S., but not so far from here in Nigeria--just northeast of here--a place called Egypt, where a brother ended up because his 11 other brothers sold him into slavery. He cried. He wept. He was thrown into a pit. He was a slave. He couldn't understand why God had deserted him. He ended up being a slave and a servant and imprisoned. Ultimately, he became the second most powerful man in all of Egypt. Because he was the second most powerful man, he was able to save Egypt during the famine that no one knew was coming, but God revealed to him, Joseph. When his brothers finally realized who he was and began to weep, Joseph told them: you meant it for evil--because what they did was evil, but God used it for good.…”
