Gohmert’s claims about the Treaty of Paris is a bit daffy, too.

The King of England is also part of the Church of England, and the were inseparable. Here’s a full transcript of the start of the treaty:

In the Name of the most Holy & undivided Trinity.

It having pleased the Divine Providence to dispose the Hearts of the most Serene and most Potent Prince George the Third, by the Grace of God, King of Great Britain, France, and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, Duke of Brunswick and Lunebourg, Arch- Treasurer and Prince Elector of the Holy Roman Empire etc.. and of the United States of America, to forget all past Misunderstandings and Differences that have unhappily interrupted the good Correspondence and Friendship which they mutually wish to restore; […]

As if a throwaway formality at the top of an 18th century document which was broken by the UK later (in the war of 1812, whereas in the Treaty of Paris they agreed to not attack the US), really means the same thing today - regardless, the royal head of the Church was also called the Elector of the HOly Roman Empire. Does GOHMERT! still cling to that, too?

It speaks to how out of touch Gohmert et al are, that they refuse to admit how they cherry pick even the basics of their beliefs.
