Rep. Louie Gohmert dove fully into health conspiracies about Hillary Clinton on Friday, declaring the Democrat presidential nominee "mentally impaired" multiple times.
The Texas Republican was speaking at the Value Voters Summit, an annual gathering of social conservatives in Washington. He was telling a story about not taking the easy route in Congress, when he quipped: "Hillary Clinton's made clear she is mentally impaired," to laughter from the crowd.
Gohmert referenced a concussion Clinton sustained in a fall in 2012 as his guess for the start of her "impairment."
"Maybe it was the concussion, the fall back when she did, or maybe who knows, they won't tell us what really is going on with her, but if I were going to smash cell phones, BlackBerrys, I'd use a two-pound sledge," he said, referring to a recent FBI report that said at least one of her phones as secretary of state was destroyed with a hammer.
"Maybe someone got to whaling around, hit her again. We ought to be praying for Hillary Clinton. There's special needs there."
Gohmert noted that earlier in the week he had made a comment that "Hillary's brain is in a blender," generating headlines. He blamed a song that conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh used to play that included a similar line.
Gohmert, joking about not joking, reiterated the point. "I'm making fun of the mentally impaired and that's not right," he said.
