Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) sat down for an interview with WND radio
this week and let loose some of his fiercest criticism of the Obama
administration to date in the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombings.
Not only did the conservative congressman attack the FBI and Justice
Department for “bungling” the investigation into the Tsarnaev brothers
before and after the bombings, but he also made the wild accusation that
members of the Muslim Brotherhood have infiltrated President Obama‘s administration and are influencing the U.S. to ignore “radical Islam’s” war against us.
Speaking about the decision to read the Boston suspect his Miranda rights, Gohmert lashed out at Attorney General Eric Holder,
saying, “I guess with our attorney general having spent more time
before being AG trying to help terrorists than trying to corral them,
the first impulse was let’s get him to stop talking.”
“If it’s not bad enough that they bungled getting this guy picked up
and his brother picked up and questioned before they blew up people in
Boston,” he continued, “then now to get him to shut up when he has
invaluable information potentially is just really egregious.”
Gohmert also linked the administration’s reaction to the Boston to
its response to last year’s attacks in Benghazi, a parallel that is
becoming increasingly prevalent on conservative media.
“I mean, one after another we’ve had incidents where this
administration has shown incompetence,” he said. “So it seems to be a
real pattern.”
But the most shocking moment of the interview came when Gohmert
suggested that the Obama administration is somehow being guided by the
Muslim Brotherhood. “It’s very clear to everyone but this administration
that radical Islam is at war against us,” he said. “This administration
has so many Muslim Brotherhood members that have influence that they
just are making wrong decisions for America.”
Finally, Gohmert accused Obama of allowing the Boston bombings to
happen by failing to “secure to border” to immigrants. “The president
has refused to do his job in securing the border. It’s his obligation.
He has an oath to fulfill,” he said. “But he is holding off adequately
securing the border until he can get what he wants. The right thing to
do would be to say, ‘Mr. President, enough. There are enough dead
Americans from people who have been let in wrongly.’”
Just two days after the attacks in Boston, Gohmert made headlines
for stoking fear over immigration on C-SPAN by saying that Al Qaeda
members positioned on the Mexican are being “trained to come in and act
like Hispanic, when they are radical Islamists.”
