Louie Gohmert’s daughter, Caroline, took to Twitter to implore people to ignore her father’s statements and wear a mask to stop the spread of the coronavirus, TheWeek reports via Yahoo.
Caroline Gohmert, a musician who performs under the name BellSaint, noted that wearing a mask is not a political issue and that people should listen to medical professionals, not people like, say, her father.

Louie Gohmert was diagnosed with coronavirus last week, when he was tested before traveling on Air Force One with President Trump on Wednesday. The prior day, he had attended two Congressional committee hearings where he refused to wear a mask properly. Subsequently, a number of Congress members have either self-quarantined or been diagnosed with coronavirus.
