If you've ever listened to him speak, then you're not surprised.

IGNORANT RACIST HYPOCRITE

Oh Lord! Why do people keep voting for Gohmert? Censure his ass!!

Western Civilization unfortunately may have peaked (read Imperium by Francis Parker Yockey) but it is what built our modern societies....White Nationalism is no different than Black Pride, or Spanish La Raza, there are hardcore edges in all groups

Gohmert is the shame of Texarkana.

What’s wrong with celebrating western civilization/culture and speaking the truth, even if fakenews never speaks the truth?

Wow!

These are the politicians that must be rooted out of Congress. It's not surprising that the Republican party is the party of racist. There probably are bad apples in both parties, but since Trump is the head racist, others are showing their true colors.

replouiegohmert is another racist who needs to go. ResignGohmert

Hope GOP gives you same treatment as they did Steve King.

Big surprise!

Why is it the biggest twerps in Congress are the ones espousing western civilizations? If they lived in the time of WW2 Hitler would have said you two are too puny to represent Western civilization.

Never trust anyone named Louie.

Texas A&M is so proud!

There is a lot of hatred and envy directed against the white race.

Sorry, Congress doesn't get due process if the rules don't allow for it.

An old, white guy....what a total shocker!

The dumbest member of the House opens up and confirms said title. Congrats, LouieGohmertTX1 , true to form once again.

Said it before and I will say it again. He was a JUDGE in TX. Imagine being a brown person in front of this POS. I’d rather him be in Congress and a loon no one respects than locking people up for being brown back in TX.

Isn’t Gohmert himself proof against the superiority of western civilization?

The Republican party is clearly full of white nationalists. Gohmert and King are merely the tip of the racist iceberg.

GodDAMMIT why does my Rep gotta be like this?

Republicans, the party of racists.

Western civilization, ? all human civilizations are interconnected

HERE, HERE!!

Consider the source...ugh

OH SHOCKER: There are more steve kings in the republican party! But they arent racist. NOPE. lmfao

So he is staking out the racist-lite position? Good luck and GOODBYE

I would love to watch Gohmert and Trump conversing. It would make “Dumb and Dumber” look like an intellectual movie.

He’s another one who is a serial offender

This is stupid crap. We all stand on the shoulders of Giants. Western Civilization has had the greatest economic success most recently in time. Our 'greatness' comes out of simple timing not from something special about our specific Western flesh bags.

The INCONVENIENT TRUTH about the Democratic party...

It's Louie Gohmert...
