Louie Gohmert: “I thank the gentleman from Florida, and I appreciate him yielding.…”

On the recordJuly 17, 2019

I thank the gentleman from Florida, and I appreciate him yielding. This is something we ought to be talking about every day because it is a crisis. It makes a difference. It is helping destroy our country. And it is really tragic, though, and I would not superimpose any type of attack on personalities, however, I think what we really have is not evil intentions. I think it is just massive ignorance. Because we have heard over and over: Oh, if you want to secure the border, you want just U.S. citizens, then you are a racist. So that just reflects an ignorance.
