The 77-year-ol Granger is ranking republican member of the House Appropriations Committee.
Gohmert announced today that he had tested positive for the coronavirus when he was tested as part of a process before flying on Air Force One with President Trump to Texas today. He was bumped from the trip after testing positive.
There has been no comment from Rep. Gohmert’s office apologizing for potentially exposing Granger and others to the coronavirus, nor has Gohmert explained why he believes science when it comes to heavier-than-air craft but not public health issues.
