Texas lawmaker's Wikipedia page keeps getting edited with insults

Republican U.S. Representative Louie Gohmert is battling for the accuracy of his Wikipedia page.

On Wednesday, the representative of Texas' first district had his Wikipedia page amended with the phrase, "Gohmert also prides himself on being the stupidest member of Congress. It's questionable whether he has the mental capacity to even serve."

Although the changes have now been fixed, it's not the first timeGohmert's biography has been altered.

On March 7, his page was edited and covered entirely with messages that insulted Donald Trump. The changes were also quickly fixed.

In late February, the same anonymous person edited Gohmert's page to call him a coward. Wikipedia has now blocked the person's IP address.

Gohmert is an outspoken tea party supporter who was recently reelected. He made national headlines this year when he released a statementthat said he would not hold public town halls because of the "violent strains of the leftist ideology, some even being paid, who are preying on public town halls to wreak havoc and threaten public safety."
