On Thursday, Congressman Louie Gohmert (R-TX) seemed to lose it while questioning FBI agent Peter Strzok, demanding to know whether Strzok had lied to his wife.

“I can’t help but wonder when I see you looking there with a little smirk how many times did you look all innocent in your wife’s eyes and lie about Ms. Page” he yelled to know, before getting shouted down by Democrats.

Gohmert’s probe into Strzok’s  marriage elicited a prompt reaction from the Internet, including Fox News’ Brit Hume.

I appreciate Gohmert chiding Peter Strzok about his affair. Good to know we have Congressmen who care about marriage and family values. Oh look, it's Republican President Donald Trump!

Gohmert has been little more than a caricature of a goon for a long time, but this was pretty repugnant stuff even by his standards https://t.co/mX5upu7FwV

If you're just tuning in, Louie Gohmert just attacked Peter Strzok for cheating on his wife, in the context of defending Donald Trump.

Donald "I grab 'em by the pussy" Trump's top henchman Louis Gohmert just pulled the lying adulterer card on Strzok.

Gohmert’s idea of sexual morality: He campaigned for Roy Moore after Moore was outed for preying on teenage girls. And this week he suggested that the Ohio State wrestlers were lying about having been groped. https://t.co/Y5O2NK99zj

Strzok responds to @replouiegohmert, saying he has not lied, suggests the slap at him cheating on his wife (reference to a "family member" he has acknowledged "hurting") says more about Gohmert's character than it does about his.

Rarely seen a more cowardly act than Rep. Gohmert attacking a witness personally and then trying to get the chairman to refuse him the chance to respond

.@replouiegohmert accuses Strzok — who is under oath — of lying, but says he could probably pass a polygraph test anyway.
