Louie Gohmert has served in the U.S. House of Representatives since 2005. Formerly a Texas state judge, the Republican congressman has become a tea party favorite for his passionate defense of conservative principles and for his strong faith.
The Daily Caller’s Ginni Thomas recently sat down with Gohmert to discuss Congress’ failure to implement bold spending cuts, Attorney General Eric Holder’s credibility problem and much more.
What are the biggest threats to this nation?
“For one thing, I see that the president is a divider, not a uniter.”

What would you say to tea partiers who might feel somewhat discouraged?
“We have to understand that we have a Senate controlled by a majority of Democrats, and they have completely different motives and completely different goals than we do.”

How do you keep a compass in the disorienting environment of Washington, D.C.?
“As Christians are taught, number one, prayer. … I’m left to pray and read the Bible, which I do daily.”

Operation Fast and Furious: What happened and what Republicans are doing to investigate?
“The Fast and Furious episode is a nasty glimpse into how ugly things can turn when people are unaccountable, when they do not have the American values that have encouraged Washington, Lincoln, Martin Luther King.”
