On the recordDecember 6, 2022
We are going to miss Mr. Gohmert, my fellow Texan and House colleague. It has been an honor to get to know you and now to be able to call you a friend. I will definitely miss Louie Gohmert hour at the end of every week. We will miss the ribs that are certainly worth a mention in the Congressional Record. I remember the first time I met you. I was a Texan, just grassroots, and you inspired me. I remember you speaking about the things that you were working to accomplish up here. A few things were obvious. One was that you hadn't forgotten who you were working for. It was obvious to me that you were compelled by your love for the Constitution and these founding principles our Nation was built upon, and you were motivated by your deep and abiding faith. Those things resonated with me, as someone trying to make a difference where I could. I didn't know I was ultimately going to have the opportunity to be here and get to know you. It is truly an honor to see and to watch your service. You have been a happy warrior who stands up, doesn't flinch, stands for what is right, what is just, and you haven't forgotten why you are here. We have all seen people who can kind of get used to it, get comfortable with what is going on here. You haven't done that. You have stayed true. It is an honor to know you. I thank you for being a hero in this place on behalf of our Nation and on behalf of our State. Thanks so much. God bless you. {time} 1745
