Rep. Louis Gohmert of Texas hit a wingnut sweet spot with his "terror babies," the basic concept of which is that terrorists will immigrate here, have children who are American citizens, and then train them to be deadly al-Qaeda assassins, so that years later they can launch an attack from within the United States. It has everything a right-wing conspiracy could possibly want -- xenophobic fear of immigrants, hysteria over terrorism, even a jab at birthright citizenship. If he could have just found a way to throw in the estate tax, his being might have reached some kind of nirvana where he would have ceased to be a physical human being and instead become some form of higher consciousness.
Unfortunately, what happened instead was that Anderson Cooper invited Gohmert on his show after inviting a former FBI agent on the show who called the idea "ludicrous." What proceeded was a complete meltdown (via Nick Baumann):
As any good conspiracy theorist must, Gohmert sees the phrase "no credible reports" as a total confirmation of what he's saying.
