Gohmert confirms COVID-19 diagnosis and wonders whether wearing a mask may have led to infection

Rep. Louie Gohmert on Wednesday confirmed that he has tested positive for COVID-19 and wondered aloud whether wearing a mask may have led to his infection.

“It is interesting, and I don’t know about everybody, but when I have a mask on, I’m moving it to make it comfortable,” he said. “And I can’t help but wonder if that put some germs in the mask.” Gohmert said that Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who tested positive for COVID-19 earlier this year, texted to tell him that “in 10 days I should be very well immune” to the virus.

It was likely those filthy Mexicans that work in his house!

not wearing glasses may have led to an infection. Not washing hands may have led to an infection. Not wearing a mask all the time may have led to an infection. . . .

'You can't fix stupid.'

It can, and you have a higher percentage of catching something by wearing a mask, that is not new or changed daily. How many people aren't washing their mask. How many people turn them inside out etc etc.. USELESS CDCgov WHO CDCDirector on top of monkey see monkey do potus

Why would he think wearing a mask led to infection? I mean, it’s not like wearing a mask makes you touch your face more, or anything.

What an idiot

But I thought he refused to wear a mask.

hey the important thing is you've got it

Enough Republican politicization of this health crisis! Let's clean House!

possible. possible. if you are that dirty, your mask will be dirty.

I don't know why Republicans like replouiegohmert don't like wearing a mask. They could get one with a Trump design so they can continually kiss the backside of Trump. 🤣

Seriously? Is he looking to confuse the citizens of Texas even more?
