How did I miss this?

Louie Gohmert, the goober that Molly Jong Fast has called a man with few thoughts and fewer teeth, come November will no longer be disgracing Texas in Congress.

Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert’s decision to give up a safe Republican seat in the House [to] take on a troubled state attorney general ended in defeat Tuesday, when he finished last in a four-person primary.

A firebrand who led pre-Jan. 6 efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results and has since denounced the “un-American and illegal treatment” of people detained after the riots, Gohmert decided to take on state Attorney General Ken Paxton, a staunch supporter of former President Donald Trump himself who was facing mounting legal troubles.

Gohmert was fourth, with 17 percent of the vote, while Paxton led with 43 percent and was headed toward a runoff against state Land Commissioner George P. Bush, the son of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and grandson of former President George H.W. Bush.

Gohmert had argued that he would do a better job representing conservative values in the federal courts than Paxton, who teamed up with Trump allies in a series of lawsuits against the Biden administration and unsuccessfully sued to overturn election results in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

Paxton was indicted on securities fraud charges six years ago during his first months in office, and has more recently been the subject of an FBI investigation over allegations by some of his former deputies that he abused his office to aid a wealthy donor.

Nathaniel Moran will vie with Democrat Jmar Jefferson for Gohmert's old seat in November.  I know nothing about either of them, but Moran has to be better than Gohmert, doesn't he?

Gohmert, for his part, couldn't even defeat a man under indictment and under FBI investigation. But then, nobody did. Paxton beat out George P in the end.

Jesus Christ, Texas. Do better.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
