The two Trump allies are completely divorced from reality, according to a former January 6 committee investigator.
In his new book, " The Breach: The untold story of the investigation into January 6th", Riggleman writes that he believed Gosar and Gohmert may have had serious cognitive issues.
Raising alarms about lawmakers' mental health gels with responses gathered in a recent poll conducted as part of Insider's " Red, White, and Gray" project, which explores the costs, benefits, and dangers of life in a democracyhelmed by those of advanced age.
The issue of subjecting congressional candidates to physical and mental exams before they're allowed to serve is an issue that's already on voters' minds.
Gohmert and Gosar seemed to be joined at the brain stem when it came to their eagerness to believe wild, dramatic fantasies about Democrats, the media and big tech. Gohmert and Gosar didn't reply to questions about the comments.
Gohmert and Gosar, who are both in their 60s, are part of a cohort of far-right legislators. Extreme partisanship could also be a factor in their accusations.
In one instance, Gohmert railed against the shadow-banning of Republicans on social media, a dig at technology companies that caused others in the room to nod in agreement.
Gosar is prone to extremists, like lobbying for the dissolution of the District of Columbia, but he's not the only one.

During his single term in Congress, Riggleman was shocked by the rude awakening he received from some of his colleagues.
The select committee is looking into the siege at the US Capitol.
At the end of the year, Gohmert will be leaving Capitol Hill after failing in his bid to become the next Attorney General of Texas.
