"You can't stop me" - Louie Gohmert Walks Around Newly Installed Metal Detector In Capitol On Way To Vote

Republican Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert walked around a newly installed magnetometer inside the Capitol on his way to vote, telling the Capitol Police that he cannot be stopped.

“The House Sergeant at Arms has decided that magnetometers will be set up outside of the press gallery office space to screen everyone going in to the House Chamber beginning at 6:00 PM today. Will stay in effect for every day the House is in session for the foreseeable future,” Sarah Wire, the chair on the Standing Committee of Correspondents said in an email to members and staffers.

Gohmert, however, did not follow those new rules.

On Gohmert’s way to vote he said: “You can’t stop me; I’m on my way to a vote,” as he passed the police officers.
