I’m amazed that this congenital moron didn’t catch it by going to a Covid ward and demanding that the patients cough into his mouth.

A better headline: “Another anti-mask Republican, Louie Gohmert, spreads the virus”

It’s pretty surprising that we haven’t seen an outbreak in Congress. These are not folks who, as a group, tend to think that rules apply to them quite as much as they apply to other folks, and that combined with the Senate being old as shit seems to be a ticking time bomb. Who knows, though. Life’s not fair, so it will probably pass by the McConnell’s of the world without a hiccup.

Yet another dumbass trumpian congresscritter providing the best leadership. Too bad people follow them blindly.

While I’m not in the habit of wishing suffering on others, it’s too bad he simply tested positive. I’d prefer he needed hospitalization, intubation, last rites, defibrillation, apparent recovery, sepsis, amputations, death and eternal damnation. But I haven’t put a lot of thought into it.

They’re mostly protected by a “devil’s pact”. I’m sure of it.

We can still hope, after all one can test positive BEFORE being symptomatic. Don’t give up yet!

Could you provide more details? We could all use some cheering up these days.

My knee jerk reaction was similar, but I would stop short of wishing him death. A partial recovery with his colon permanently broken so he’s got permanent diarrhea and other awful permanent symptoms would be better.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.

In a state well known for its science-denyin’, truth-equivocatin’, bible-thumpin’, torture-approvin’ congressfolks, Gohmert is the absolute bottom of the barrel.

You hate to see it. Because these morons have been infecting those around them, including responsible mask wearers.

Oh, don’t worry - it turns out that even people without noticeable symptoms are turning out to have (possibly permanent) lung and heart damage.

So we can hope for lung damage…

Quit getting my hopes up and then disappointing me, 2020.
