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. He looked fine the other day so could be asymptomatic like Rand Paul.

He will be fine.

gee, is every positive test found to be accurate? The high number of false positives and timing of this test make this very suspicious.

Strangely enough Pelosi, Schumer, Nadler, Maxine Waters, AOC, Hillary, Comey, Strzok, Brennan, Obama, Michael Obama, and the test of the treason crew all seem immune

Yep... just a period of isolation.

I would hate to be deprived of my liberty like that so I wish him well.

Maybe he will read FR :)

Which coronavirus? There are many coronaviruses. The common cold is a coronavirus.

Not sure why he attended the committee hearing after testing positive.

Seems irresponsible to me. Especially since his statements/questions to Barr were silly and worthless.

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

Mad Maxine NEEDS to get the virus. Even if it’s a mild case.
It would be an exercise in humility for her.
Might make her see that life is not all about hating others.

YES! He should have said the China virus, then EVERYONE would know which virus he was talking about.
