Louie Gohmert: ‘I’m Kind to Foreigners,’ You Just Haven’t Seen It

Reps. Steve King, Louie Gohmert, Michele Bachmann held a press conference Wednesday morning with Sen. Ted Cruz in protest of President Barack Obama‘s executive action delaying the deportations of millions of undocumented immigrants.

Several notable Beltway reporters were on-hand to document the scene, including PBS’s Domenico Montanaro, who quoted this gem from Gohmert:

Louie Gohmert: "I'm kind to foreigners. You haven't seen it, but at 2 in the morning I've given food to little children."

As per Bachmann’s request, several civilian supporters showed up at the event to support the congressmen and woman, as Huffington Post immigration reporter Elise Foley documented:
