GOP rep Gosar skips town to speak at KKK event Friday, CPAC Saturday.
No wonder his siblings denounce him...
GOP Congressman Skipped the Stimulus Vote to Appear at a White Nationalist Event

Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz) skipped key votes in the House of Representatives, citing the ongoing public health emergency, to instead attend a conference hosted by white supremacists in Orlando, Florida on Friday.
Gosar, whose six siblings memorably endorsed his congressional opponent in a 2018 ad, has a long flirtation with far-right extremism. He appeared Friday at a white supremacist gathering in Orlando, America First Political Action Conference (AFPAC) organized by Nick Fuentes, a white nationalist figurehead and instigator of the Jan. 6 insurrection.
Gosar has fanned the flames of the Jan. 6 insurrection himself by calling the Democrats win an attempted coup and then President-elect Joe Biden an illegitimate usurper. After the election, he wrote in an op-ed promoting the Stop the Steal rallies: Be ready to defend the Constitution and the White House. His past ties to the right-wing militia group Oath Keepers are already under scrutiny. In 2017, he dismissed right-wing violence in the deadly Charlottesville Unite the Right rally as the doing of George Soros, lying about how the billionaire known for backing progressive causes was actually behind the violence. Who is he?, Gosar said. I think hes from Hungary. I think he was Jewish. And I think he turned in his own people to the Nazis.
