A Democrat running against Arizona Representative Paul Gosar unveiled a powerful series of ads on Thursday that feature six people who denounce Gosar and endorse his rival.
They're Gosar's siblings.
The conservative congressman's family members' video testimonials, which will air on TV soon, are in support of David Brill, a Democrat hoping to unseat Gosar in Arizona's Fourth Congressional District.
The campaign revealed the ads at a fundraiser held at First Studio in Phoenix on Thursday evening. In them, six of Gosar's siblings Tim, Jennifer, Gaston, Joan, Grace, and David say that their brother's positions on immigration, the environment, and health care have effectively torn their family apart. They condemn their brother in striking terms.........................
"It would be difficult to see my brother as anything but a racist." Congressman Paul Gosar's sister in an ad for his opponent.

Remember Gosar?? He is the Rep who claims he was great at reading body language.
He also has RW supremacists ties. This is a US Representative in OUR HOUSE!!
"Gosar is a strident voice against the DACA program and is bent on constructing Trump's border wall. Last January, he urged the Capitol police to arrest and deport Dreamers who had been invited to attend the State of the Union address, a stunt for which he was swiftly condemned. And over the summer, Gosar flew to London to speak at a rally of an extremist anti-Muslim group."

After all a holiday is for celebrating its not for having to put up with a douchebag that ruins both the holiday and dinner.

(46 posts)I bet a lot of people here have a "Paul Gosar" type sibling. And if said sibling were running for office, I think most of us would have no issue voting against and campaigning against said sibling.

You must have a note from a board certified Psychiatrist certifying that you are nuts to live there.
He won with 70% last election where Trump won with 68%
Trump did not get 50% in AZ and only won by 3%
His family has publicly denounced him before (I think the fly in from Colorado). Everyone has a big laugh and he wins by huge margins.
If the Democrats win this district it means that the Republican caucus will be so small that they could meet in a McDonalds and only fill half of it up.
he's awful and prevails because his district encompasses the Redneck Riviera (Lake Havasu/Colorado River settlement areas) and lots of rural lands populated by farmers, ranchers, and other descendants of white settlers plus retirees. Lily white and dumb as a box of rocks.
A while back I made the mistake of going to his webpage. It featured a giant photo of a horde of people coming through a gate, with the caption something along the lines of "THEY'RE COMING!!!1!! OMGOMGOMG!!! Clearly designed to scare the rubes about immigrants. I haven't been back since.
