Louie Gohmert: “I certainly appreciate my friend, Congressman Cawthorn, holding this because it is important. You know, to some people…”

“I certainly appreciate my friend, Congressman Cawthorn, holding this because it is important. You know, to some people, it is just about, ``Well, it is the economy. It is an inconvenience.'' Well, that is for rich people, like the billionaires that donated to the current President's campaign. They sure didn't help the former President. Well, what are we talking about? We are talking about a President that is so out of touch. As he has said, ``I keep forgetting I am President.'' It is very unfortunate. But if you go back to his days as Vice President, you find what this President, the current President, was doing in the previous administration, and these policies are now coming back. It ran up the price of oil and gas--natural gas, propane. It ran up the price of gasoline. And unfortunately, for the working people in America, for those that haven't been in Washington for 50 years or so-- like the current President--they are getting strangled with debt. They are getting strangled with increasing prices because it just so happens, we don't have a lot of electric 18-wheelers. We don't have a lot of massive electric engines that are pulling countless numbers of cars down the train tracks. That means every time this President takes another step to raise the price of oil--which raises the price of gasoline--he is economically crippling people that are working, people that are on Social Security, people that have fixed incomes. They are getting hammered.…”
