News You Can Use II: Louie, dumber than Don? in his own words
“Texas Republican on why he won't wear a mask: If I get coronavirus, 'I'll wear it'”: “Texas Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert spends ample time on the House floor not wearing a mask, often talking with aides and lawmakers at length while not maintaining a social distance.
“Asked why not, the 66-year-old Gohmert had an explanation that defied the science and the recommendations of leading public health experts. ‘I don't have the coronavirus, turns out as of yesterday I've never had it. But if I get it, you'll never see me without a mask,’ the conservative Texan told CNN Friday.
Told that health experts say that people who don't have symptoms may be carrying the virus and can unknowingly spread it to others, Gohmert responded: ‘But I keep being tested and I don't have it. So I'm not afraid of you, but if I get it I'll wear a mask.’”
