TEXAS Representative Louie Gohmert has tested positive for coronavirus just before he was set to accompany Donald Trump on Air Force 1.

The 66-year-old tested positive in a pre-screen at the White House on Wednesday.

The eighth-term Republican attended the House Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday where Attorney General Bill Barr was quizzed by reps.

He was sat at the podium asking questions without wearing a face mask.

Gohmert previously told CNN that he was not wearing a covering as he was regularly being tested for the virus.

"[I]f I get it, you'll never see me without a mask," he said.

“ I wish Congressman Gohmert a speedy recovery. ”

If you don’t have symptoms, what do you need to “recover” from? The positive test result?

Is everyone in the hearing room going to be quarantined for the next two weeks?

Agreed—that was irresponsible of Gohmert.

We probably also need reports on when people get H1N1 and the common cold, then we’d have everything covered fairly.

The hearing was on Tuesday. The test before the flight on Air Force One was on Wednesday. He must be asymptomatic or he would not have been preparing to go on Air Force One.

He will be back On his feet

If he doesn’t have symptoms, then he won’t be off his feet

Seems like there are a lot of people who test positive and are surprised because they feel fine

“RIP, he only has a 99.93% chance of making a full recover from this virus.“
************************************

Not sure if there are trolls on here or people who don’t take the time to read. Gohmert was with Barr Tuesday. He tested positive Wednesday. He has done nothing reckless.

Well, Tom Hanks and his wife had it months ago. It was like a minor cold.

I, my wife, and my kids all had it. 2 kids were nearly symptom free, one got sick for a bout a week. I got very, very sick for 2 weeks, my wife was in the hospital for 8 days. But we all lived, so yeah, a minor cold.

“Mad Maxine NEEDS to get the virus. Even if it’s a mild case.”

She won’t get it. You just know she’s sneaking in her daily doses of HCL.

Who was sitting on each side, and front and rear of Gohmert?

1. He should immediately get tested again, submitted under a different name.

2. If true, This is payback for his bill recognizing the democrat party's racist past and present.

Probably a false positive.

Perhaps, on purpose.

Fox news makes it sound like he was a member of the Anti-Mask league.

How many well-known people will have to catch this bug and NOT die before people catch on to the scam?

“I usually like Gohmert, but I think he was wrong to attend the hearing.”

He was doing the job that the people of Texas called him there to do. He is very responsible to his office.
