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.

Just because you test positive, you are not likely to even get sick.

Obviosly Gohmert had no symptoms but tested positive.

Eventually we will all test positive.

Almost all of us will never know it.

The reaction to this disease is insane.

“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.”

Did you get tested? How do you know it was Covid-19?

Meanwhile, my wife had the flu two years ago and was out for four weeks. It started to get better at the two week mark and then hit her harder than ever and it ended up being four weeks of hell. But she is fine and I never got it, even though I cared for her the entire time.

At the same time in seattle, my brother also got the flu. In his case it was six weeks and a trip to the ER. But he completely recovered too.

The CV19 is just another thing that can make you sick, and on rare occasion, kill you. Especially if you are very old or grossly obese.

Do you ever get the feeling that somebody TARGETS conservatives with this?

Especially since he just recommended BANNING DEMOCRATS FOR THEIR RACIST HISTORY?!?!

You can drown in a pool with only 4 inches of water.

Saw a guy the other day with a tee shirt that said, “But you didn’t die.” Bingo!

Good first hand account of Covid-19. A lot of people will think they had it and never tested.

It's SHOCKING to me how many FReepers are taking the BIG CORONA LIE seriously. Downright Shocking..

The DemonRat media industrial complex LIED FOR OVER 2 YEARS, 24/7 ABOUT "TRUMP-RUSSIA COLLUSION" but NOW WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE THEM ABOUT THE SEVERITY OF A SUPPOSED FLU?

Wake up, FReepers.

If the entire country is FLOODED WITH CORONAVIRUS TESTS DESIGNED TO GIVE FALSE POSITIVES IN ORDER TO KEEP THE COUNTRY SHUT-DOWN AND CRUSH TRUMP'S ECONOMIC SUCCESSES, what ELSE can be expected other than FEAR and mass hysteria?

ANYONE WHO TRUSTS THE CDC IS AN IDIOT! THEY ARE JUST AS BAD AS THE DEMONRAT MEDIA!

Remember, it's not who votes it's who COUNTS the votes.

SO... It's not who tests positive, it's who makes and supplies the tests to DETERMINE who and how many are positive.

If Dr. Fauci HATES YOUR GUTS AND WISHES YOU WERE DEAD, then administers you a Coronavirus test and TELLS YOU YOU ARE POSITIVE AND YOU MUST CEASE YOUR DAILY ROUTINES, WOULD YOU BELIEVE HIM?

WAKE UP, FREEPERS. WAKE UP, AMERICA.

Testing “positive” is the new horror talking point and narrative. I think most in America today are simply scared,stupid and do not think straight.

So? ... OK. Hope he doesn’t get sick as he’s not “sick” now!

Yep, you can die from a minor cold.


Yep, if you are already old and sickly enough. Of course, at that point it’s not minor. :)

Nobody wore their masks WHEN THEY WERE ASKING QUESTIONS.

The chair didn’t wear his mask, really, even when he was not asking questions. He had it off while he was sleeping as well.

On the other hand — how did Gohmert pick up the virus? As he said, he’s tested every day; someone must have given it to him, I wonder where contract tracing will take us? Is there a democratic staffer infected who is assigned the task of interacting with republicans they want to silence?
