U.S. Rep. Louie Gohmert has been known to take flights of fancy when it comes to conspiracies, Democrats and the truth.

His latest posits an alternative future in which Hillary Clinton is president and he is in jail.

Gohmert, a Republican from Tyler, told Glenn Beck during an interview on Friday that he feared going to prison under a Clinton presidency.

"That night of the election, I’d already come to grips,” Gohmert said. “The U.S Commission on Civil Rights says that Christians are the biggest hate group threat in America, in essence. And you had Hillary, who wants to make it a crime to say anything negative about radical Islam, and Loretta Lynch [who] were in favor of [making it] a crime to question man-made global warming.”

It's not the first time Gohmert has taken off after Hillary Clinton, Before the presidential election, he said Clinton would be "like a dictator" if she won. But, like so much of what Gohmert says, he wants it taken at face value with little or no proof offered.

And, after his comments about Clinton and Lynch, Gohmert broke the news that he was prepared for life behind bars "because I’m going to be part of the Christian-loving group that they say is hateful.”

But, Gohmert said, Trump’s election has “just been such a relief.”
