Congressman Louie Gohmert—one of the many Republicans who still refuse to admit Joe Biden won the November election—was giving a speech in Washington D.C. when one of his teeth fell out.
You can see the moment here:
The strange moment was quickly seized upon by both the internet and television personalities like The Daily Show's Trevor Noah.
Noah addressed Gohmert's mishap during his monologue, saying:
"Can we just take a moment to reflect on how hard this month has been for Trump's people?"
"Because it's not easy to overturn a democracy. It's actually taking a physical toll on them. Trump's hair went grey overnight, his legal team is riddled with corona, and now, one of Trump's top supporters, Congressman Louie Gohmert, is literally falling apart."
Noah continued, pointing out how Republicans have been literally falling apart since President Trump lost.
"That is the most disgusting thing I have ever seen in 2020. And remember, I've seen everything. I mean, I saw Rudy's hair melt."
"But as disgusting as it is, it's still pretty funny, man. Trump's court cases are getting knocked out of court so hard that other people are losing their teeth."
Twitter followed Noah's lead, showing Gohmert no mercy.
Attempting to undermine democracy is most definitely not a good look for Gohmert.
Many online suspected Gohmert's tooth loss may be connected to his recent positive test for the virus.
Noah summed things up best when he said:
"My man, I don't care what side of history you're on, if your tooth falls out mid-speech, your argument is over."
