In early October 2017, Rep. Paul Gosar (AZ-04) sat down for an interview with Vice News and embarrassed the entire state of Arizona when he floated an insane theory about who might be funding the modern neo-Nazi movement in America and their violent rallies.

—
His large family could hear his dog whistle all the way from his home state of Wyoming and they published a public letter denouncing their congressman 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.

Paul had no problem going completely out of his way to malign Mr. Soros on Vice, so we can’t imagine anything less than a complete retraction and genuine apology. A press release, inadequate. One of those phony apologies that begins with, “If someone was offended by my statements”….” won’t do either.

It is extremely upsetting to have to call you out on this, Paul, but you’ve forced our hand with your deceit and anti-semitic dog whistle. We look forward to your apology on Vice.

Paul Gosar’s siblings Joan, Dave, Tim, Grace, Gaston, Pete and Jennifer Gosar

16. Thanks for the Graphic.

Know this area very well,understand what is going down. Tea Bagger-ville for the most part. Heavy duty Gunner Crowd.

[dbackjon]

23. It is very white

And does contain retirement haven of Mohave County (which is a prepper/teabagger/anti-American (but they think they are the patriots) hotbed.

[Wellstone ruled]

24. Know the area very well.

Ton's of 3% ers and other Militia Groups. So many of them live Social Security check to check. When we are prospecting on our own claims,we post a guard.

3. Interesting family holiday...

20. Im lucky

Everyone in my family - kids, their spouses, sister, nieces, nephews, even my 13 year old grandson - are strong Democrats in red South Carolina.
The only exception was my ex-Special Forces older brother, but he has given up politics. Says he won’t vote Dem, but can’t vote Rep cause they will take away his VA benefits.

[Baconator]

[onetexan]

7. "We look forward to your apology"

Note to siblings from Yoda: Hold your breath, you should not.

[NastyRiffraff]

8. Should be an interesting family Thanksgiving dinner

Hope the turkey is good at least!

[ejbr]

9. +1 n/t

[Bernardo de La Paz]

14. The turkey sits in Congress. The turkey is Republican. . . . nt

[ThoughtCriminal]

11. "My" Congressman

The district is heavy with what I call "Black Helicopter Republicans". Worst Arizona Republican in Congress since JD Hayworth.

[not fooled]

12. Barf

gosuck is my congressman until I move back to CA...horrible RWNJ...district includes western AZ Lake Havasu, eastern Yuma, etc. Yeah, lily white and dumb as a box of rocks.

Last time I checked, gosuck's congressional webpage had an image of hordes of brown people pouring through what is supposed to be the border....horribly racist and total whack job...worst of the worst. Good for his siblings.

I missed being in Grijalva's district by one block.

[BigmanPigman]

13. His siblings have more balls than he could ever hope to have.

CA will be welcoming you back with open arms!

[crazycatlady]

19. It just means that you can pesker him every day

And he has an obligation to listen to you.

[Solly Mack]

17. Good for them.

[Nevernose]

18. Without a shred of evidence?

Clearly, they’re not aware of all the evidence of Soros’s perfidy amassed on Mike Cernovitch’s Twitter feed, or the Breitbart articles (accredited by the White House, so they must be legitimate news, right?), or my racist uncle Jimmy’s Facebook page. Nor are these people aware of the very damning evidence found in the comments sections of editorials in both the Las Vegas AND Tampa Bay newspapers.

Do I really need to add the sarcasm tag? I really feel like, at least on this one, if you don’t see the sarcasm it says more about you than me.

[cannabis_flower]

21. Wait! I'm confused..

I thought Soros was a socialist.. or a communist!! Now he's supposed to be a Nazi? Can't these people ( the congressman and others, not the family) get consistent about their raving lunatic accusations.

Oh yeah right, the National Socialist German Workers' Party were socialists! And Socialists are Communists Not really.

22. Thank you, Gosar siblings.

Rep. Gosar's apology probably won't be forthcoming, but it's nice to see him called out on it.
