Islamic extremists deserves to be investigated. Comparison of Obama to Hitler In a 2010 speech before the House, Gohmert read into the record parts of an op-ed by conservative columnist Thomas Sowell that compared President Obama to Adolf Hitler. Gohmert quoted a portion of Sowell's op-ed that stated that Hitler "deliberately sought to activate people who did not normally pay much attention to politics". Gohmert introduced his reading by saying, "I didn’t vote for Barack Obama in 2008, but I sure would have voted for Thomas Sowell". Comments on Robert Mueller Gohmert was one of three Republicans who called for the resignation of Robert Mueller, the prosecutor investigating Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, on the grounds that they believed Mueller could not conduct his investigation fairly "because of his relationship with James Comey, his successor at the bureau". As of March 2016, "[s]ix people connected to President Trump have been charged by the special counsel with an array of crimes, including financial fraud and lying to Congress and investigators. Five have been convicted or pleaded guilty. Twenty-eight others, including 26 Russians, also face charges." Mueller did not exonerate Trump on the issue of obstruction, a fact he reiterated during the House Judiciary Committee hearing. In a June 2019 interview with Politico, Gohmert called Mueller an "anal opening." Renaming of Cesar Chavez Day In early 2018, Gohmert announced that he had introduced a resolution (H. Res. 791) to change the name of Cesar Chavez Day to Border Control Day, saying, "Chavez spent his life addressing the harmful effects that illegal migration might have on this country and advocating for a legal immigration process." The proposition was criticized by Arizona House Minority Leader Rebecca Rios and members of the Hispanic-American community, who felt it was disrespectful of Chavez's legacy. Comments on George Soros In December 2018, Gohmert was a guest on Varney & Co., on Fox Business discussing Google's work in China, when he digressed to say that it reminded him that "George Soros is supposed to be Jewish, but you wouldn't know it from the damage he's inflicted on Israel, and the fact that he turned on fellow Jews and helped take the property that they owned. This same kind of thing—Google coming from a free country and helping oppress." The allegation was criticized by NBC News for allegedly denigrating Soros's surviving the Holocaust.
