Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert absolutely leveled the Obama administration yesterday, saying the President’s foreign policy is consistently on “the side of radical Islamists.”
Despite stating earlier that the U.S. doesn’t “have a strategy yet” to deal with ISIS and the terror threat in Iraq and Syria, Obama’s policy of siding with radical groups is the strategy according to Gohmert.
Via the Daily Caller:
Republican lawmaker Louie Gohmert blasted Obama for repeatedly working to undermine stable governments in the Middle East, claiming he’s “consistently chosen to choose the side of radical Islamists” in civil wars all across the region.
The Texas congressman appeared Thursday with Fox News’ Neil Cavuto to react to the president’s press conference on the U.S. strategy (or lack thereof) to contain and defeat fundamentalist jihadists in Syria and Iraq.
Gohmert mentioned Obama’s plan last year to bomb Assad in Syria, something Rush Limbaugh also recently mentioned. Gohmert said that, had Obama followed through on that threat to go after Assad, “ISIS would’ve already taken over all of Syria.”
Gohmert added that Obama had seen the Arab Spring last year and didn’t recognize it for what it was – radical Islam.
“It was radical Islam, and he kept choosing to help radical Islam.”
“Just like we did in Libya, you’re going to help the radical Islamists take over,” he asserted. “Assad’s not a good guy, but at least he has not been persecuting Christians and Jews, and mistreating people the way radical Islam [has].”
“So he’s the lesser of two evils?” Cavuto asked.
“Yes!” Gohmert replied. “Just like Mubarak was, just like Gaddafi was . . . but [Obama] has consistently chosen, with whatever ridiculous advice he’s been getting, to choose the side of the radical Islamists! We’ve been providing them weapons!”
Watch the incredible accusations below…
Gohmert would go on to offer his own strategy for the President - a “declaration of war against radical Islam.”
