During the questioning of anti-Trump FBI agent Peter Strzok about Hillary Clinton’s email investigation, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX), confronted Strzok over his extramarital affair with the anti-Trump, pro-Hillary FBI lawyer Lisa Page.
While accusing Strzok of not being too concerned about the national integrity of our elections when it involved Hillary Clinton. Gohmert also accused Strzok of lying under oath about his bias against Trump, ripping into the smug fired FBI agent saying, “I can’t help but wonder when I see you looking there with a little smirk, how many times did you look so innocently into your wife’s eye and lied to her about Lisa Page?”
The House chamber quickly broke out into pandemonium, with fellow lawmakers shouting “Mr. Chairman, this is outrageous!”, “Shame on you!”, and “This is intolerable harassment of a witness!” over each other.
Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee, also of Texas, even yelled “You need your medication!” to rebuke Gohmert. Rep. Jarrod Nadler of New York then raised a point of order, accusing Gohmert of violating House rules by “impugning the character” of a testifying witness.
