Rep. Louis Gohmert (R-Texas) on Tuesday said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) wouldn’t know bipartisanship “if it came up and slapped him.”
“He wouldn’t know bipartisanship if it came up and slapped him and said we’re bipartisan because he has never participated in any kind of bicameral bipartisanship,” Gohmert said on Fox News.
House Republican leaders offered a new debt-ceiling and budget deal Tuesday, despite a plan Senate leaders proposed Monday. The House plan goes further than the Senate’s to weaken the new healthcare law. It includes a delay in ObamaCare’s medical device tax and a mandate to remove subsidies for members of Congress, the president and his Cabinet.
On Tuesday, The White House released a statement objecting to the new House demands.
Reid called it a “blatant attack on bipartisanship.” He and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) reached a deal a day earlier to raise the debt ceiling through Feb. 15 and reopen the government through Jan. 15.
“I don’t need to hear any crap from Harry Reid about bipartisanship,” Gohmert said. "He doesn’t know bipartisanship nor does the president.”
Gohmert is serving his fifth term in Congress, and is one of its most conservative members.
In 2010, as Congress debated the president’s healthcare law, Gohmert said Republican feedback was rejected.
“They put [Rep. Henry] Waxman [D-Calif.] in the chair to make sure that didn’t happen. If they had John Dingell [D-Mich.] remain in the chair, he was going to allow some Republican input.”
Oh, Reid knows bipartisanship, he just drops the “bi” and puts it to his own use.
I’ll volunteer.
I’d pay to see “bipartisan” slap the old goat.
GOD BLESS Rep. Louis Gohmert (R-Texas)!
Reid loves getting tea bagged.
To Dingy Harry Reid, “bipartisanship” is when Graham and McCain convince the rest of the Republicans to do whatever Reid wants.
Let's try it. Line to the left and around the building. Brass knuckle okay.
Louie has got the right stuff. I like this guy.
To Democrats, ‘bi-partisanship’ means Republicans go along with whatever Democrats want. To the GOP, ‘bi-partisanship’ means the same thing. John McCain loves ‘bi-partisanship’. Ted Cruz, Mike Lee and solid House conservatives such as Congressman Louis Gohmert do not want to play the Democrat and RINO game of phony ‘bi-partisanship’. God bless them.
This guy needs to go after that d-bag Cornyn’s seat in the senate.
Rep. Louis Gohmert (R-Texas) has the current RINO Senior Senator of Texas very nervous.
Burning ad cash already.
Be afraid John, be very afraid.
The Worthless One, reid, needs brought down a rung or two (or three). What a complete loser.
By “bipartisanship” Reid means BOHICO...
If not for the “sheet turn down” union in Vegas, prince Harry would not be able to get the funding for the railroad from no where to Las Vegas.
Obama told us not to go to Las Vegas, only thing he has said that I abide with.
They tried...didn't work.
