Louie Gohmert compares reality TV show cancellation to female genital mutilation

He said it reminded him of another tactic that he learned about it while serving as a district court judge

“As shrinks testified before me during my days as a judge, it was called projecting,” Gohmert said. “It is those who have a characteristic and to divert condemnation on themselves, they project their characteristic on someone with whom they disagree — so the most intolerant in America.”

He said proponents of same-sex marriage were filled with hatred for the Judeo-Christian values he said the United States was founded upon.

“Those who are the most hate-filled, who do not follow the teachings of Jesus, seek to impose or to project upon those of us who are Christians — and some orthodox Jews and even atheists or secularists, like Ms. Ayaan Hirsi Ali — their own hate, their own intolerance. We really need to understand what is going on,” Gohmert said.

He then compared the cancellation of the cable TV reality show to genital mutilation, forced marriage, and other indignities imposed upon women in other nations.
