Louie Gohmert: Wendy Davis’ Divorce Proves You Can’t Trust Her

I’m sure Rep. Louis Gohmert would say the same about Rush Limbaugh, Karl Rove, et al. During an interview with Newsmax today, the Texas Congressman said that voters shouldn’t trust state senator and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis because she has been divorced.

Right Wing Watch reports:

When host Ed Berliner asked if Davis “has found enough of the will and enough prayers to get her elected,” Gohmert replied that he thought that “she’s showing the same will she had when she let her husband paid for her to get through law school and then divorced him the day law school was finished and paid for, so she’s got a lot of will and that makes her interesting.”

The Texas congressman went on to say he never says “outrageous things to get the press.”

“It’s amazing, so often I get quoted and people say it’s outrageous and then a year or two years later people go, ‘Wow, he was right all along,’” he said.

But if you ask Wendy Davis’ ex-husband, he would disagree. He believes she would make a very “capable governor.”

When I was growing up, it was difficult for my mother to rent an apartment because divorced women were considered “easy.” The men weren’t, but the women were stereotyped so she had to lie and say she was a widow. She said that in order to keep a roof over our heads. Apparently, not much has changed in the last decade or 5.

Now, if he wants to talk about divorces, Karl Rove’s multiple divorces is really something to talk about.
