“You don't make fun of people who are impaired, have special needs," Gohmert said during his speech at the Values Voter Summit in Washington.

ADVERTISEMENT "And whether you like her or not, Hillary Clinton has made clear she is mentally impaired. This is not somebody you should be making fun of," Gohmert continued, to laughs from the crowd. "I get the impression that in law school and along the way she's been very, very smart. But I don't know, maybe it was the concussion. ... They won't tell us what really is going on with her."

"We need to be praying for Hillary Clinton. There's special needs there, there's mental impairment," Gohmert said Friday. The GOP congressman acknowledged that he said earlier this week on Fox that Clinton's "brain is still in a blender." He said Friday that was "not a proper thing to say."
