Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) does not know when to quit digging. In early October, Gosar sat for an interview with Vice News and delivered an absolutely insane theory that George Soros, the billionaire who survived Nazi Germany-occupied Hungary as a Jewish teenager, is funding and organizing the modern Neo-Nazi movement in America, coordinating violent hate rallies in places like Charlottesville. Read that again. A sitting U.S. congressman thinks a Holocaust survivor is now funding the modern Nazi movement because...? It is hard to connect these dots, but something, something about making the white nationalist movement look bad. As if that requires George Soros and his money.
The anti-Semitic theory is so awful, so repulsive that Gosar’s seven siblings published an open letter publicly denouncing their brother.
Our parents are 87 and 83 and we would be outraged if some sleaze did to them what Paul shamelessly did to Mr. Soros. First, Paul confabulated horrendous lies about Soros as a young boy who survived the Holocaust, and followed it with invented notions that Soros was behind the Charlottesville Nazis. Paul’s deceit was uttered without a shred of evidence.
Those aren’t our family values or the values of the small Wyoming town we grew up in. Character assassination wasn’t revered. Lies and distortions do reveal much about the character of the congressman of Arizona’s 4th congressional district, however.
Those are the collective words of Rep. Gosar’s own siblings!
CNN has been trying to follow-up with Rep. Gosar to clarify his remarks or offer evidence to back-up his whacked-out, insensitive, grotesque claim. He refused to follow-up on repeated requests for an interview. CNN caught up with Congressman Nut Job in a hallway of the House of Representatives and instead of walking back his comments, he dug deeper, doubling down, screeching CNN was “fake news” as he ran away, telling viewers to go to his website to see the evidence.
Seriously, watch this interview and then ask yourself how in the hell this man is actually sitting in the United States House of Representatives. If you ever wonder whether you have what it takes to run for office, let this interview remove any doubt. If this guy can get elected, you’ve got a chance.
