CNN Political Commentator and adviser to the pro-Hillary super PAC Priorities USA Action Paul Begala mocked Representative Louie Gohmert (R-TX) by saying, “you shouldn’t make fun of the mentally challenged, and Louie is a dope.”

Begala said, after host Bill Maher brought up Gohmert’s confrontation with Congressional Democrats during their gun control sit-in, “But, you shouldn’t make fun of the mentally challenged, and Louie is a dope. He’s an idiot. No, he’s a first-class idiot. He’s from my state of Texas. And he’s just a fool and an idiot.”
