Yes, I Agree With Rep. Gohmert (R) Texas


From a recent Congress.org Mega Vote email.

Amending Language in Federal Law – Suspension - Vote Passed (398-1, 32 Not Voting)

In its final action of the week, the House cleared a Senate bill that would remove the pejorative “lunatic” from the United States Code. The lone House dissenter was Texas Republican Louie Gohmert, who insisted that lunatic should be retained, pointing to his fellow Members of Congress as living, breathing examples of the term. The bill awaits the president’s signature.

A Ami. Not clear if he excluded anyone. Surely, some representatives were offended; not that is a bad thing.
