Rep. Paul Gosar's Ties to Neo-Nazi Movement Under Scrutiny
We look at a newly confirmed direct connection between a white supremacist leader and a staffer for one of Trump's staunchest supporters in Congress. The digital director for right-wing Arizona Congressmember Paul Gosar has been revealed as a prominent follower of neo-Nazi online influencer Nick Fuentes. Gosar himself is linked to organizers of the January 6 insurrection and was censured for posting an animated video on social media where he murdered Congressmember Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and attacked President Biden. We speak with Talking Points Memo reporter Hunter Walker about his exclusive report, which he says "removes that veil of plausible deniability" from Gosar about his office's ties to extremists.

@@noble2786 On one hand, you can't fault a mother being proud of her child. On the other hand, that about fits the profile, right? She was born in 1933(less than a year after the Great Depression) in Wyoming, deeply Roman Catholic, ten children, staunch Republican, conservative, she depended on others to shape her world view. First her father, them her husband, then her kids, and of course, FoxNews. She attended many republican presidential campaign rallies, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Trump. These are all pretty consistent traits of people her age who would subscribe to prejudiced leanings. That's not to say she was as extreme as Paul, or that she really grasped the extent of his devotion to white supremacy. I wouldn't know that. I'm just saying that all the right elements are there.

I live in Gosar's district and it returned him to Congress with nearly 70% of the vote. The Sheriff in Yavapai County which is a large part of Gosar's district, meets with the Oath Keepers several times a year and has made comments that they are some of his favorite people. Most of the people here are not what you would call very intelligent. When a politician comes along and says he'll make sure the government doesn't take their guns and big diesel-guzzling pick-ups, he'll get their vote. There are such places in our country.

Referred as the greatest generation. Republicans always using that term as how they want America to be again. This was a time when the President wanted to cut military pay ten percent and the majority of service members still voted him in for his fourth term. This was a time when not only did service members make sacrifices but so did the people. Gas coupons, meat, dairy and bread allowances. The civilians did this without complaint and joined together to defeat fascism. Less than two years ago these same republicans were loosing their sh** over a damn mask. So much as being like the greatest generation. Your grandfather was a good man and his service is appreciated. I'm a veteran myself.

Paul Gosar keeps winning re-election because of his views. Gosar has employed Wade Searle Since November 2021. Searle reportedly is a "dedicated acolyte of Nick Fuentes. The family is actually divided. Paul Gosar is his mother's favorite child out of 10 children, and she supports him 100% even to the point of denouncing 6 of her other children. Paul was also his father's favorite when he was still alive. Paul also has the support of three of his brothers. The 3 younger brothers and his 3 sisters are the ones who oppose him.......all of whom are deeply unpopular in their deep red home state of Wyoming. Since 2018, the six of Gosar's nine siblings have been speaking out against their brother and endorsed his Democratic opponents.
Thank you for your good work, Hunter Walker👍🤗🇺🇸💙

Talk about old grudges that go back and are still around today.
So Gosar is even more repulsive than I knew.
It is occasionally recalled that the late Senator Robert Byrd, who served as Senate Democratic Leader, had been in the Klan. What is not mentioned and certainly isn’t in this is that Byrd was but one Klansman elected to office as Democrats. There were many others. One of those many others was one John Gordon Brown, who served as a general in the Confederate army. After the war he founded his state’s chapter of the Klan and was elected to the United States Senate as a Democrat. He also would serve as governor. His state? That would be the AJC’s very own state of Georgia. One of the memorable moments of the 1960s civil rights era was “Bloody Sunday.” That would be the day that civil rights protesters on the march to Montgomery, Alabama, the state’s capital, were attacked and beaten by armed police on a bridge in Selma. The attack famously took place as the protesters marched on the Edmund Pettus Bridge. And who was Edmund Pettus? He was a Democratic Senator from Alabama - and the head of the Alabama Ku Klux Klan. Which is to say, one Klan member after another served in public office at the federal, state and local level as Democrats - and made the Klan a seriously potent force inside the Democratic Party.

“Gay people do date girls all the time. All these gay people are coming out and saying, ‘I’ve had more girlfriends than Nick. I’ve had sex with more girls than Nick.’ That actually makes me really more heterosexual than anyone. If we’re really being honest, never having a girlfriend, never having sex with a woman really makes you more heterosexual,” Fuentes said, “because honestly, dating women is gay, having sex with women is gay. And having sex with men is gay. Really it’s all gay.” --Nick Fuentes
