Gohmert prepares for MAGA rally in Gilmer

GILMER — A Make America Great Again rally is set for the Gilmer Civic Center starting at 1 p.m. Saturday, sponsored by the Republican Party of Upshur County. Featured speakers are Congressmen Louie Gohmert and Pat Fallon. State Representative Jay Dean and state Senator Bryan Hughes are also expected, pending the status of the special session in Austin. Speaking with KTBB, Gohmert reiterated the importance of coming home often. He said, “That is absolutely imperative. If you’re gonna keep your feet on the ground and keep yourself grounded, you gotta come home — and that’s why I don’t stick around here in Washington on the weekends.”

Gohmert also re-stated his view that East Texans are strong on common sense. He said it’s necessary to “get back to the land of common sense…or, as some say, ‘behind the pine curtain”…where people…are brilliant…with their wisdom and common sense.” Click here for more information on the rally.
