CLEVELAND, Ohio — Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert blasted Barack Obama’s handling of the recent police officer killings on Monday, arguing that he is an “accessory” to the Black Lives Matter protesters while stirring up “racial animosity.”
In an interview with The Daily Caller, Gohmert said, “I never dreamed that as president, [Obama] would help stir up racial animosity, even using false information.”
“I didn’t vote for Obama,” Gohmert said. “I didn’t support him. But when I looked for a silver lining, I thought, ‘You know what, we seem to be so close to Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream.’ He had a dream that one day people would be judged by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin. And it seemed to me, we were awfully close to that.”
“But then we elected a president that could have been the final — and the fact that [Obama] was elected as an African-American when most people would say a white guy with his qualifications had no chance. Are you kidding?”

Where has Louie been? I guess everyone forgot about the beer with the Boston cop in the Rose Garden?
