Louis Buller "Louie" Gohmert, Jr. (born August 18, 1953) is a current Republican U.S. Representative from Texas's First Congressional District. On January 4, 2015, Gohmert announced he would challenge John Boehner for the position of Speaker of the House of Representatives. He was defeated in the challenge by Boehner two days later, on January 6, 2015.
Gohmert was born in Pittsburg, Texas, the son of Erma Sue (née Brooks) and Louis Buller Gohmert. He is of German descent on his father's side. Gohmert was raised in Mount Pleasant, Texas, where he graduated from the local high school in 1971. He then enrolled in Texas A&M University, receiving his B.A. in history in 1975.
Gohmert spent a summer as an exchange student in Ukraine. He received a U.S. Army scholarship while at Texas A&M, where he was a brigade commander of the Corps of Cadets and class president. He later received a law degree (Juris Doctor) from Baylor Law School in Waco, Texas in 1977, where he was also class president.
Louie Gohmert joked Friday that Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was mentally handicapped and had special needs as a result of her 2012 concussion. “I do want to warn, since most people here are Christians– and I’m serious about this– a true believer knows what Jesus did. You don’t make fun of people who are impaired, have special needs. And whether you like her or not, Hillary Clinton has made clear she is mentally impaired and this is not somebody you should be making fun of,” he told the Value Voters Summit Friday. “So I get the impression that in law school and along the way, she’s been very, very smart. Maybe it was the concussion, the fall back when she did, or maybe — who knows. They won’t tell us what really is going on with her,” he continued. Gohmert finished his...

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) on Sunday said that he would challenge House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) for the top spot in House GOP leadership. "We have heard from a lot of Republicans that said, 'I would vote for somebody besides speaker Boehner.' But nobody will put their name out there,” Gohmert said on "Fox and Friends." "That changed yesterday with Ted Yoho."

Louie Gohmert doesn’t think gay couples should be allowed in space. He believes that if the Earth is ending, we cannot afford to send gay couples to colonize other planets. Cenk Uygur, John Iadarola, Ben Mankiewicz, and Jimmy Dore, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below. “Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) argued on the House floor Thursday that the strive for LGBT rights is a mistake because NASA would never send a gay couple into space (except for Sally Ride). We’d, especially, never send a gay person into space to colonize Mars like in the Academy Award-nominated film “The Martian” with Matt Damon. In Gohmert’s mind, lawmakers were being forced to decide “whether humanity would go forward or not” in the event we had a “Deep Impact” scenario...

Bill Hemmer interviewed Louie Gohmert today regarding the $1 million reward for Lois Lerner's emails. Well when James Lankford was being interviewed this week, Gohmert photobombed Lankford so McCallum decided to have a little fun today during the interview.

CNN Official Interview: Rep Louie Gohmert defends 'terror babies' to Anderson Cooper
At CPAC 2014, I talk to Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX 1) about income inequality and the minimum wage. I previously posted a shorter version of this interview. This adds in some discussion on early American history and entitlements.
"Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) is launching a political action committee to defend ultra-conservatives against attacks from "mainstream" Republicans. In an interview with the Daily Caller, Gohmert said he's launching the GOH Conservative PAC because "there's a war against the tea party." "That's been a problem, we've seen in some races, where we've had leadership come and play and there was no counterbalance. So I'm going to do something about it," Gohmert said."

"Louie Gohmert (R-TX) this week blasted President Barack Obama for sending troops to Africa to help fight an Ebola outbreak, and predicted that they would bring the disease back to infect American citizens. In an interview with Fox Business host Lou Dobbs, Gohmert explained that a series of mistakes made by the U.S. Secret Service were a symptom of “political correctness.” “I talk to these Secret Service agents, most of them are the same agents who have perform admirably and loyally for all these years, done a stellar job,” he explained. “But when you put political correctness above all else, just like we have with our rules of engagement with our military that’s getting our own military killed.”"* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down. *Read more here from LiveLeak: http://www...
Rep. Louie Gohmert (TX-01) talked to Fox & Friends and reacted to his statement during the Democratic Sit-In on the House Floor that “radical Islam killed these innocent people.” He noted, “This is insane to try to take away our civil rights, our Second Amendment rights …then they [Democrats] were fund-raising. They’re doing fund-raising calls based on the deaths of these people and we're standing up for it. It is just so outrageous …”
