Gohmert listed two apologies he thought Obama should have made to Israel, including for remarks French President Nicolas Sarkozy and Obama were overheard uttering before an open mic about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at a G20 summit in 2011.
Gohmert also accused Obama of apologizing to Sandra Fluke, the Georgetown law student who testified to House Democrats in favor of Obama’s contraception mandate in the healthcare law.
Conservatives argue the mandate violates religious freedom by forcing employers to provide contraception to employees against their moral beliefs, but Fluke became well-known after conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh called her a “slut” and a “prostitute” for wanting people to pay for her contraception.
Limbaugh has apologized for the remarks and taken heat from advertisers. Obama called Fluke last week to offer support and to say, according to Fluke, that her parents should be proud of her.
Gohmert labeled the call to Fluke another apology by Obama, and criticized the president for not apologizing to those offended by the contraception mandate.
“It struck me that the president recently found time to apologize to someone who’d been up here on the Hill testifying, but he never found time to apologize to those who he told you cannot practice your religious beliefs,” Gohmert said.
“Comments made by Rush Limbaugh and his radio program about pro-abortion activist and Georgetown law student Sandra, and I’m told it’s Fluck, Fluke — whatever,” Gohmert said. “Yes, found time for that apology.”
