in a hearing yesterday about climate change he asked
“I was informed by the media past director of NASA that they have found that the moon’s orbit is changing slightly, and so is the Earth’s orbit around the Sun. We know there’s been a significant solar flare activity,”
“So is there anything that the National Forest Service or BLM can do to change the course of the moon’s orbit or the Earth’s orbit around the sun?”
Are people so stupid that they don’t know he was really saying that BLM could not change orbits and could not change the way they affect the weather?
Apparently not, because the person who wrote the article noted that the person from BLM said that he would have to get back with Gohmert to answer that question.
Why wasn’t the person who wrote the article amazed that a person who represented BLM to Congress could not answer that they did not have the power to change orbits?
Perhaps because the author realized that both were being “cute” but only wanted to deadpan Gohmert.
He could answered the question in public and on the record right then and there.
But calling a Congressmen an idiot at a Committee Meeting probably wasn’t a good idea. So he punted so he and everyone else could have a good laugh off camera.
