Louie Gohmert: “I thank the gentleman from Florida. We have been friends for a long time, and I know how deeply my friend…”

“I thank the gentleman from Florida. We have been friends for a long time, and I know how deeply my friend, Representative Yoho, cares about this country and about the people who are under our charge. This poster has some more recent folks. You have heard about Officer Singh, who was recently killed by a person illegally in the country. That is the charge. Pierce Corcoran, 22 years old, and I was hearing his parents talk about him yesterday; Justin James Dennis Lee, 14 years old, a cute kid; Steven Marler, his family would love to have him back. Some of these were not intentional murders. Some of these were accidents, some by drunk drivers, and some by negligent homicide, but they killed Americans. Grayson Hacking, she was 22 months old. It is a little harder. Ellie Jean Bryant reminds me of one of mine, killed when she was 4 years old; Blake Michael Zieto, he was 20; Chrishia Odette, 13; Rocky Jones, 51. Now, Dominic Durden's mother is a friend of mine, and I know how she has suffered--she is a single mom--at the loss of Dominic. He sounds like he was an absolutely awesome young man. Then there is Shayley Estes and Grant Ronnebeck. He was 21. I got to see a little bit of my friend Sean Hannity's show last night and I saw these names scrolling, and I was going: Oh, my gosh. Look at those names. And there is a website his producer, Linda, directed me to that they were using that has lists of names.…”
