On March 24, 2018, a columnist for ''The San Antonio Express-News'' called Gohmert "infamous for kooky conspiracy theories, including his claim in 2010 that pregnant undocumented women were crossing the border to give birth to 'terror babies' with U.S. citizenship."<ref name=chasnoff>Brian Chasnoff, "Rickhoff channels Gohmert in county race", ''The San Antonio Express-News'', March 24, 2018, p.
