Because they have no true arguments to offer, the Republican tactic is to tell lies and spuriously support them with conspiracy theories so wild that they would make a flat-earther blush. Here’s the latest from Louie Gohmert.
Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) believes that radical Islamic terrorists and progressives are working together to bring down America out of their shared “hatred” for conservatives and Christians, and intend to use “terror babies” as part of their plan. Speaking with a receptive audience of Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council and Tim Wildmon of the American Family Association, Gohmert explained his allegation that terrorists are plotting to come into the United States in order to gain citizenship for their children. After Gohmert first floated his conspiracy theory on the House floor in June, he was later unable to produce any evidence to substantiate his claim and a former FBI official maintained that “there was never a credible report — or any report, for that matter — coming across through all the various mechanisms of communication to indicate that there was such a plan for these terror babies to be born… [emphasis added]
I don’t know what to say. How does one respond to something so patently absurd? Of course Gohmert is lying. That’s what Republicans do. Gohmert embodies the bigotry, racism, and hatred that have come to be a key plank in the Republican platform.

Gohmert is insane and ought to be straitjacketed and locked up IN AN ISLAMIC PRISON for his hatred and utter ridiculousness!
Careful Jack. The Muslim residents would consider that an act of war, as Gohmert us a weapon of mass distraction.

Granted. I was using it in the colloquial sense.
