Gosar is a racist asshole

Gosar is now facing scrutiny over his ties to extremists after speaking via video at a conference organized by White nationalist Nick Fuentes. Gosar spoke in person at the event last year. And both Gosar, and his colleague Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, who spoke in person at the conference this year, have been condemned by Republican leaders over their appearances
Gosar has also shared animated images of political violence against his colleagues. In November, Gosar shared a photoshopped anime video on social media showing him appearing to kill New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and attacking President Joe Biden. He was then censured by the House and stripped of his committee assignments, but only two Republicans -- Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger and Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney -- voted to censure Gosar for promoting violence.
Republican leadership has yet to discipline Gosar, or Greene for that matter, for their ties to White nationalists beyond harsh words, even though, three years ago, they stripped another congressman from House committees for lamenting that the terms White nationalist and White supremacist were considered "offensive."
Gosar's ties to extremists go back further than the violent social media posts he was censured for. He has long associations with White nationalists, a pro-Nazi blogger and far-right fringe players that have received little examination compared to his colleagues, according to an extensive CNN KFile review of Gosar's events and social media posts over the years.

CNN's investigative unit the KFile made a detailed analysis of Rep. Paul Gosar's (R-AZ) long history with white supremacists. It's been over the past few years that Gosar's statements have been highlighted as he grows more and more extremist.
It was only last year that he posted a video showing himself attacking and assassinating Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and newly elected President Joe Biden. In Oct. 2021, he tweeted then deleted white supremacists and antisemitic meme that made major news back in his home state.
KFile began with the 2018 story about Gosar having dinner with a European extremist who infamously called for banning Islam from Europe. In the years that followed, he has tweeted and retweeted "local antisemites, attended a conference organized by a prominent white nationalist, and repeatedly shared content from a Holocaust denial website."
Questions are surfacing again after Gosar joined Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) for a white nationalist-hosted conference where the crowd chanted their praise for both Adolf Hitler and Vladimir Putin.
