Is Louie Gohmert Asshole of the Day (again)? Or just an idiot?
Is Rep. Louie Gohmert asshole of the day for saying atheists should want people to pray to protect the country? Or just an idiot?
Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) seemingly tied Christianity to U.S. national security during a bizarre speech on the House floor on Thursday, the Huffington Post reported.
“If you were completely areligious, completely atheistic, but you wanted to have a free country, and you wanted to have it safe and protected, then it would sound like, from historical purposes, that it might be a good thing to encourage those who believe in God to keep doing so,” Gohmert said. “Because when a nation’s leaders honor that God, that nation is protected. It’s only when it turns away that it falls.”

Gohmert says a lot of stupid things, even ones to justify bad things in his agenda. For example, he once claimed women should give birth to brain dead babies.
