Louie Gohmert says he might have gotten COVID-19 from wearing a face mask


https://www.rawstory.com/2020/07/louie-gohmert-says-he-might-have-gotten-19-from-wearing-a-face-mask/

...........................

Just hours before Gohmert was scheduled to travel with President Donald Trump to Texas, the congressman confirmed that he had tested positive for COVID-19.

Gohmert, who refused to wear a mask at a hearing on Tuesday, told KETK that he may have contracted the disease from a facial covering.

“It’s really ironic because a lot of people have made a really big deal out of my not wearing a mask a whole lot, but in the last week or two, I have worn a mask more than I have in the whole last four months,” Gohmert explained.


“I can’t help but wonder if by keeping a mask on and keeping it in place, if I might have put some germs, some of the virus on the mask and breathed it in,” he speculated. “I don’t know but I got it.”....................................................................................................

Because I can totally believe that you're too stupid to wear a mask properly.

then handled all the food on his plate with his hands to his mouth. So, yeah, that might have been the reason why the mask "gave him COVID-19"...

I am sure they were really happy to hear that in person.
"Gohmert, 66, tested positive in a pre-screening procedure at the White House before he was scheduled to fly with President Donald Trump to Texas on Wednesday. Following his positive diagnosis, the representative returned to his Capitol Hill office to inform his staff."

Never mind, found a photo of him wearing a bandana. Yea, that looks really protective, especially considering how low it hangs off his face. His nose is almost exposed, it doesn't seem to form any sort of seal to his face.
