Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) has been publicly called out by his daughter for ignoring medical expertise and refusing to wear a face mask before he tested positive for the coronavirus last week, according to multiple media outlets .

Wearing a mask is a non-partisan issue. The advice of medical experts shouldnt be politicized, wrote Caroline Gohmert, a singer who performs as BELLSAINT, in posts shared on social media Friday that were verified to CNN by her agent .

My father ignored medical expertise and now he has COVID, the musician continued. This has been a heartbreaking battle bc I love my dad and dont want him to die.

She concluded with a plea and a dig at President Donald Trump , who has faced widespread criticism for his administrations catastrophic handling of the public health crisis thats killed more than 150,000 people in the U.S.

Please please listen to medical experts, Caroline Gohmert wrote. Its not worth following a president who has no remorse for leading his followers to an early grave.

Caroline Gohmert did not immediately return HuffPosts request for additional comment. Rep. Gohmerts office didnt respond to his daughters remarks.
