I mean, I can’t really argue with Louie Gohmert’s self-assessment: there are people who think Gohmert is the dumbest member of Congress. Personally, I think he’s been surpassed by the likes of Matt Gaetz, Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene–all of whom actively pursue stupidity. And then there are old favorites like Virginia Foxx and Paul Gosar.
He’s making a strong case for his argument, given that statistically, SAT scores rose immediately after the Department of Education was created in 1979. But hey… facts. (He also makes you wonder how rigorous the Texas A&M “honors” program is–and what the hell is a college “honors” program?)
I think we can safely say Gohmert has secured the Idiot Emeritus title.
