Rep. Louie Gohmert Says Arizona Should 'Recall' McCain Over Health Care Vote and Cancer Diagnosis

Source: Mediaite




by Aidan McLaughlin | 7:23 am, September 25th, 2017

Rep. Louie Gohmert said should Sen. John McCain should be “recalled” because of his decision to vote against the latest GOP health care bill — as well as to focus on his cancer diagnosis.

Speaking on Fox & Friends Monday morning, the Texas Republican said McCain ran on repealing the Affordable Care Act, and that his challengers in the last election would have defeated him otherwise. He then said McCain would do better to step down and focus on recovering from cancer:

“Nothing inhibits recovery from cancer like stress,” Gohmert continued. “I think Arizona could help him, and us. Recall him, let him fight successfully this terrible cancer, and let’s get someone in here who will keep the word he gave last year.”

An incredulous Steve Doocy interjected: “Say that again — what are you suggesting? He be recalled?”

PINHEAD in the white house.

To bad the Constitution does not have in it, narcissistic ass**** need not apply............


And now that you are playing doctor by giving advice, you really need to remove the thumb out from your back side, before you hurt yourself.

And after you do that, try really hard and remove the permanent foot that is inserted in your mouth.

And then have a doctor remove the growth between your ears as being cancerous........................how did I do on my prognosis, and I'm not a doctor

When did people start thinking recalling US Senators was a thing? It's not. Senators serve 6 year terms. Period. I assume since Grey Davis was recalled people think any office holder can be recalled.

Trump is showing signs of age-related dementia...
Mental-health professionals agree that he is not well...
On an official psychological chart for diagnosing sociopathy, Trump scores as "normal" by a razor-thin margin...
There is no credible medical report how this 70yo man is doing...

But we should talk about a recall for McCain.

most god awful horrible bullshit imaginable and never are called out by their own and rarely by the media.

This is the way it is in America.

For instance Kushner is using private email, we hear nary a peep about this. Hillary did, and did nothing wrong ultimately, and damn near went to prison.

I would have thought Louis, a lawyer who, for a few months, was the Chief Justice on Texas's 12th Court of Appeals, would just KNOW there is no Constitutional mechanism to "recall" a member of Congress.

I have never known anyone who lived long with this kind of tumor.

I can only hope someone runs over Gohmert with a truck.
