Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) goes there during the Peter Strzok hearings on Capitol Hill. "How many times did you look so innocent into your wife's eyes and lie to her?" he asks Strzok. Don't forget now, Gohmert campaigned for Roy Moore, who is a noted child molester, sexual harasser, and liar.
So, the video. Watch.
In an incredibly acrimonious exchange, Gohmert accuses Strzok, who is under oath, of lying about not having any professional bias and invokes Strzok's extramarital affair.
House Democrats erupt, one suggesting Gohmert needs to take his "medication."

This video is really something else. Gohmert absolutely loses his shit.

Gohmert's idea of sexual morality: He campaigned for Roy Moore after Moore was outed for preying on teenage girls. And this week he suggested that the Ohio State wrestlers were lying about having been groped. https://t.co/Y5O2NK99zj

I wonder if Louis Gohmert knows that the President of the United States — who spoke openly for decades about being a cheater — is being sued by a porn star for an alleged affair they had while his third wife was nursing his fifth child.

This at the end of Strozk testimony before the recess: "The information we had which was alleging a Russian offer of assistance to a member of the Trump campaign was of extraordinary significance. It was credible. It was from an extraordinarily sensitive and credible source."

The message here for federal law enforcement seems to be that members of Congress will splash your personal life all over national television if your investigations are politically inconvenient https://t.co/ggFr0z9c3N

Gohmert goes there, and the hearing — again erupts — "How many times did you look so innocent into your wife's eyes ….?" he says to Strzok, who was having an affair with Lisa page. Dems yell back. A Dem can be overheard saying: "Insane asylum," referring to Gohmert.

Dems: "This is intolerable! You need your medication! This is harassment of the witness!"
Gohmert digs in.
And scene (below)

Rep. Gohmert, basically: cheating on your wife means you're not credible, being credibly accused of child molestation means you should be elected to Congress. https://t.co/DI0b6cqUZB
