WASHINGTON—When Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) left his Texas home at 3 a.m. on March 16 to drive to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport to catch a flight to Washington, it was to force House Democrats to put changes in writing that they were making to the “Families First Coronavirus Response Act,” which the chamber approved late March 14.
“God bless Louie, who had to drive from Tyler, Texas, to Dallas at 3 a.m. to make a 6:15 flight that landed at 9:55 a.m. He’s a freaking hero,” a senior congressional aide who requested anonymity told The Epoch Times on March 17.
