Washington (WBAP/KLIF) – U.S Representative Louie Gohmert of Tyler has tested positive for Covid-19, according to Politico. Gohmert was pre-screened at the White House Tuesday morning before a flight to Texas with President Donald Trump.
Gohmert is known for not wearing a mask and in an interview in June said if he contracted the coronavirus “you’ll never see me without a mask.”
Reps. Mario Diaz Balart (R-Fla.), Neal Dunn (R-Fla.), Morgan Griffith (R-Va.), Mike Kelly (R-Pa.), Ben McAdams (D-Utah) and Tom Rice (R-S.C.) have tested positive for the virus, along with Sen. Rand Paul (R-Tenn.).
