The Public Record
Louie Gohmert is a Republican politician from Texas who served as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from 2005 to 2021. During his tenure, he was known for his conservative positions on various issues, including immigration, healthcare, and government spending. Gohmert was a vocal supporter of the Tea Party movement and often aligned himself with more hardline factions within the Republican Party. He was also involved in several high-profile congressional hearings and debates, particularly regarding national security and civil liberties.
Yes, this is an important week. There are a lot of things we are bringing up, but nothing is more important than the bill that is supposed to address the Affordable Care Act, as it was called. But it is kind of tough to call it that since…
Pretty staggering, and when that is taken into consideration with the allegations that DOJ used settlements...
In my remaining time, I want to address the question of ObamaCare. Two years ago when Joe Biden was Vice President, making him President of the Senate, there was a compromise. Instead of doing complete and full repeal of ObamaCare as…
Happy St. Patrick's Day. March 17 is St. Patrick's Day--a day that, for so many, has become a reason for frivolity and joy and fun. Some think it is a day just for drinking, but St. Patrick is remembered not because he drank, not because…
But, on the other hand, from my experience as a judge and as a prosecutor, there are times when that's what gets the child out of the situation they're in.
But it seems like it may be more appropriate to make sure prosecutors and judges are educated about the role they can play rather than making that kind of activity legal.
It is the end of another week in session. Mr. Speaker, I want to revisit an important issue. It seems that what some of us were trying to point out for 8 years under the Obama administration fell on deaf ears, that there really are radical…
I was handed a letter by a lady when I was at one of the many events that I attended in my district. It is how I stay in touch with what is going on. This lady says: ``U.S. Congressman Louie Gohmert: I am a 52-year-old widow. ObamaCare is…
It doesn't make them so any more than the Supreme Court saying the Dred Scott decision was constitutional.
Something that has not gotten nearly enough attention in the media concerns security. We know that there were people working--Imran Awan, Abid Awan, Jamal Awan, Hina Alvi, Natalia Sova--and I have heard that one of these has fled back to…
We are back in session. We were out of session last week. It was great to get all over east Texas. It is just good to be an east Texan and from around east Texas. I had occasion to talk to a whole bunch of folks from part of my district…
Evidence presented by the prosecutors included a list of 246 unindicted co-conspirators.
In our Judiciary Committee today, we have been marking up what should have been a couple of rather simple bills, but it is really as if the instructions on the Soros-funded website, manual, things telling people how to obstruct the current…
We had a resignation now that seems to be the big news of the day of a Cabinet member of the Trump administration. It is interesting to have seen this Indivisible movement arise. The Daily Signal points out: `` . . . Ties to George Soros…
I am grateful to the chairman of our committee. I appreciate the question asked by my colleague across the aisle: Why now? The answer to the question, why now, is that this Federal Government has not done its job. This Congress has not…
I am so grateful to my friend from California. We have traveled around the world and stood for people who weren't able to stand for themselves, and I look forward to continue doing that. Just to continue on, Ken Klukowski has a terrific…
I greatly appreciate my friend, colleague-- actually, dear friend--Steve King, and his points he is making--right on track. I hesitated for a number of days now about making public reference to this, but it needs to be addressed and it…
Here it is, Friday. It has been a good week in Washington. We have gotten some of President Trump's nominees approved and through the Senate. Call them like you see them, I think. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has done a great job this…
If the gentleman might take a question. I appreciate that clarity. It is clarity that has been missing for a long time. We have people screaming that President Trump should not have put a temporary pause that was half as long as the pause…
I thank the gentleman. I would also note, as this Federalist article points out, yeah, of course, when there is a terrorist attack, it also affects the economy. That is why Osama bin Laden wrote about how they had only spent a tiny amount…
Those are such great points. The counterargument is made often to us: ``Other than the San Bernardino shootings, has there been a terrorist attack involving a non-U.S.-born attacker since 9/11?'' There was a great article in The Federalist…
I might say it is great seeing you in the chair. You are a natural fit. Maybe we can do something about that at some point. It is an honor to speak in this hallowed Hall. There has been much ado made about contrived misrepresentations…
I thank the gentleman from South Carolina not merely for the bill, but this gentleman's bills, just like the reasoned argument made here in this Chamber, well reasoned, well thought out. Having sat and listened to so many lawyers during my…
Politicians like Louie Gohmert
