Gohmert met with a doctor after she was released from prison.

The founder of America's Frontline Doctors, a group that spreads misinformation about the COVID-19 Pandemic, was previously known for making false claims.

Gold was involved in the riot.

According to the plea agreement, Gold pleaded guilty to entering and staying in a restricted building. In June she was sentenced to 60 days in prison.

Gohmert called Gold a political prisoner and blamed the Biden administration for prosecuting her.

After having her name and reputation dragged through the mud, the Biden administration threw her in prison for peacefully walking into the U.S. Capitol and delivering a speech. Gohmert said that Dr. Gold was the definition of what a political prisoner looked like.

Thank you Dr. Gold." Those who were prosecuted for speaking out against the vaccine mandates will not be looked kindly upon by history.

She said she was honored to be recognized.

Congressman Gohmert is a true believer in freedom and a fierce defender of our constitutional rights.
