Of all the Louie Gohmerts in the world, he’s the Louie Gohmertiest.
Louie Gohmert
U.S. Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Tyler, appears to be exploring a run for Texas attorney general, weighing a late entry into the already crowded primary to unseat GOP incumbent Ken Paxton.
Gohmert was set to make a “very important” campaign announcement Tuesday morning in Tyler, and while it is unclear whether that happened, a website surfaced around the same time that claimed he was making an “exploratory” effort in the race. The Texas Ethics Commission said afterward that it received a new campaign treasurer appointment from Gohmert for an attorney general run, one of the first formal steps someone has to take to vie for state office.

The public rollout of Gohmert’s apparent exploratory committee was messy. He had been scheduled to be in Tyler at 11:30 a.m. to make what was billed as a “very important campaign kick-off announcement.” Around noon, his campaign’s Twitter account tweeted a live broadcast that did not work. After the purported campaign website surfaced on social media, he did not respond to calls and a text message seeking comment.
Gohmert’s district’s office referred questions about the announcement to a campaign email address, which did not respond to multiple messages.
The URL for the website purporting to be about the exploratory effort is not the same as one for another Gohmert campaign website, which still says he is running for Congress.
The more recent website says Gohmert “needs 100,000 citizens to send $100 each (or any other amount to get to $1,000,000) by November 19.” However, the product of 100,000 and $100 is $10 million, not $1 million.
We all know that politics is just performance art these days for the likes of Louie, but it’s still breathtaking to see its execution in the hands of a true master. How could any so-called “artist” even try to compete with this? Truly, we are not worthy.
Your sarcasm is sublime, Kuff, truly sublime.
