Following Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress yesterday, Rep. Louie Gohmert called into the “Point of View” radio program to discuss the Israeli Prime Minister’s remarks. During the discussion, the Texas Congressman alleged that the Obama administration told the Nigerian government that the U.S. will not assist in the fight against the terrorist organization Boko Haram until Nigeria legalizes gay marriage.
“I don’t know if you saw this story,” Gohmert said, “but it was reported from Nigeria that this administration said unless you change your law to allow same-sex marriage, then we’re not going to help you against the radical Islamist Boko Haram, which is killing Christians, having young girls raped and sold into sex slavery.”
The “reports” that Gohmert mentioned seem to have come from right-wing outlets such as WorldNetDaily and The Gateway Pundit, so obviously they are very reliable.
Gohmert then went on to warn that God will punish America for “turning its back on Christians and Jews around the world.”
“I am very afraid since I know,” he said, “that the judgements of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. It doesn’t matter how many people in America are faithful followers, we have put into place leaders who may bring down judgment on the United States if we don’t start helping the good guys”;
