Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert has unearthed a new culprit in the Benghazi saga: fellow Republican John McCain.
Conservative radio host Frank Gaffney asked Gohmert to comment on McCain’s “hobnobbing with jihadists” during his recent trip to Syria. Gohmert brought up a similar trip of McCain’s to Libya, where he feels McCain’s policy to depose Muammar Gaddafi unleashed the Muslim extremist forces that later attacked the American Consulate in Benghazi.

Gohmert ping
Well, all right! NOW, maybe what’s left of The Vichy Media will report on Ben Ghazi.
John McCain was lead cheerleader for getting involved in that mess in the first place.
Now he’s moved on to playing pleasure girl for the islamderthals in Syria.
If other US citizens met with known terroists, wouldn't they be droned? Or does the US now have good terrorists and bad terrorists? I can't figure out why this sneaking into Syria and meeting with terrorists wasn't treason. If the feds won't do anything, I really wish AZ would do a recall.
Louis Buller "Louie" Gohmert, Jr. (born August 18, 1953) is an American politician and current Republican U.S. Representative from Texas's First Congressional District.
...He was then accepted into Texas A&M University, receiving his B.A. in history in 1975.[5] Gohmert received an Army scholarship while at Texas A&M, where he was a brigade commander of the Corps of Cadets and class president.[6]
He later received his Juris Doctor from Baylor Law School in Waco, Texas in 1977 where he also served as class president.[7] Gohmert served in the United States Army Judge Advocate General's Corps, at Fort Benning, Georgia, from 1978 to 1982.[8] The majority of his U.S. Army legal service was as a defense attorney.
Gohmert was elected as a state district judge for Texas's 7th Judicial District, serving Smith County (Tyler, Texas) from 1992 to 2002; being reelected to a total of three terms.[9]
Gohmert first saw national recognition for a 1996 probation requirement where he ordered an H.I.V. positive man, who was convicted on motor vehicle theft charges, to seek the written consent from all future sexual partners on a court provided form notifying them of H.I.V. status;[10] angering AIDS and Gay rights activists, as well as civil libertarians.[11]
Gohmert was appointed by Texas Governor Rick Perry to fill a vacancy as Chief Justice on Texas's 12th Court of Appeals, where he served a six month term from 2002 to 2003.[12]
I agree. McCain’s total lack of judgment has had real world results, and they will not be the only results.
Arizona, your senator is a menace.
Could it be that the Puppet aka John McCain is doing the bidding of those who do not have America’s best interests at heart??? That along with the PINO and his minions overtly working for the Muslim Brotherhood/Saudi Arabia. Domestically, the destruction continues unabated.
Gohmert and the few remaining outspoken Patriots in Congress better start connecting the obvious dots in more bold language. We don’t have time to dance the slow dance any more.
Flake sucks, too.
Louie Louie! Ohh Baby! We gotta go!
This guy is a real firebrand LOL
His heart is in the right place, but I think he needs to temper it a bit.
Any how, You go Louie!
These may be well-meaning comments by Representative Louie Gohmert (R), but they’re terribly misguided.
Yes, Senator John McCain did advocate for terrible policy in Libya. That still does not mean he was responsible for the events that took place resulting in the death of our Ambassador and other diplomats and security agents at our embassy in Benghazi.
Any talk of this helps disburse the responsibility from the two people who were directly responsibly, President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
McCain was an absolute ass to advocate for taking military action in Libya. He was not a part of the decision making process that resulted in four dead Americans.
Confusing the two is actually a distraction that helps Obama and Clinton. It’s a big mistake to do that.
Well Hell Ya! If we can blame it on a Republican they will pipe up.
Gohmert and Gowdy ! Those two actually give me some hope.
Obama owns this.
Not McCain.
Hillary Owns this.
Not McCain.
Thank You!
I agree Whole Heartedly!
And I Like Mr Ghomert.
But I say “Take a deep breath Hoss”
True, but McCain and Graham, in usual collaborative fashion with the left, co-signed the note.
Ya mean....Oh, I don't know.... like Barak Obama?
