Louie Gohmert: Wendy Davis’ Divorce Proves You Can’t Trust Her
I’m sure Rep. Louis Gohmert would say the same about Rush Limbaugh, Karl Rove, et al. During an interview with Newsmax today, the Texas Congressman said that voters shouldn’t trust state senator and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis because she has been divorced.
[su_center_ad]Because he knows stuff.
Right Wing Watch reports:
When host Ed Berliner asked if Davis “has found enough of the will and enough prayers to get her elected,” Gohmert replied that he thought that “she’s showing the same will she had when she let her husband paid for her to get through law school and then divorced him the day law school was finished and paid for, so she’s got a lot of will and that makes her interesting.”
The Texas congressman went on to say he never says “outrageous things to get the press.”
“It’s amazing, so often I get quoted and people say it’s outrageous and then a year or two years later people go, ‘Wow, he was right all along,’” he said.
But if you ask Wendy Davis’ ex-husband, he would disagree. He believes she would make a very “capable governor.”
Watch courtesy of Right Wing Watch:
When I was growing up, it was difficult for my mother to rent an apartment because divorced women were considered “easy.” The men weren’t, but the women were stereotyped so she had to lie and say she was a widow. She said that in order to keep a roof over our heads. Apparently, not much has changed in the last decade or 5.
Now, if he wants to talk about divorces, Karl Rove’s multiple divorces is really something to talk about. [su_csky_ad]

“It’s amazing, so often I get quoted and people say it’s outrageous and then a year or two years later people go, ‘Wow, he was right all along,’”, said no one, ever! STUPIDEST HUMAN IN THE KNOWN UNIVERSE!!!

And of course they criticize Hilary’s judgement because she stood BY her man…
granpa.usthai October 27th, 2014 at 7:48 pm
good point. I’m sure they’ll be screaming about that in the 2016 election!
“but, but … can you ‘really’ trust someone who won’t divorce their mate when God says it’s OK?”
M D Reese October 27th, 2014 at 9:17 pm
We just can’t win with these idiots. Like my momma told me–You can’t argue with a sick mind.

Where in the bible does it say women have the right and the way to divorce a man?
granpa.usthai October 28th, 2014 at 10:44 pm
Mark 10:12 – but then the woman will be guilty of adultery IF she remarries.

Again reinforcing the belief that the bald area on the top of his head is actually a solar panel for a dumb-ass generator.

I thought it was only a rumor – until I saw the spark run across the photo.

Oh thanks for the belly laugh! I really needed one!

St. Ronnie of Reagan was also divorced.
Mainah October 27th, 2014 at 7:11 pm
Guess Newt’s screwed. Reagan who divorced his wife to marry Nancy. McCain, Sanford who happen to disappear to go see his girlfriend which was a very bad way for his wife to find out they were about to be getting a divorce ….
The stupid train just screams right through him like a hollow tunnel through a mountain.

Gohmert says ‘GOP divorces prove you can’t trust social con repub hypocrites.’ The Catholic League Bob Donovan is divorced pining for time with teabagger Louis.

Hypocrisy, thou art a right wing family value.
mea_mark October 27th, 2014 at 7:29 pm
If Gohmert says you can’t trust someone, you can trust them with your life.
StoneyCurtisll October 27th, 2014 at 7:38 pm
How do people as stupid as Louie Gohmert keep getting elected?

If you ever spent more than about 5 minutes in his East Tx district, you’d know the answer to that hypothetical. Not the sharpest knives in the Texas drawer.

Voter apathy + Texas education = Gohmert.
tracey marie October 27th, 2014 at 8:51 pm
No apathy involved in his district, carefully carved out to give him a district
Dirk Prophet October 27th, 2014 at 11:55 pm
He’s not stupid but enough of his constituents are and he knows how to talk to them.
