Our brother Paul Gosar supported Trump’s lies and betrayed America. Is he not ashamed?

In 1954, Boston attorney Joseph Welch famously asked the Wisconsin Republican Sen. Joseph McCarthy, Finally, sir, don’t you care respectfully? It was a question that marked the beginning of the end for McCarthys ’madness, and the senator died in an embarrassing and despised opportunist.

We weren’t surprised to see him going down a similar path to McCarthy’s. So, don’t you have a sense of decency, Paul?

We now asked our brother Rep. Paul Gosar, on the same question. Although his colleagues in Congress and others in the media seem to have been paying attention only recently, we have known his unethical behavior for many years. We are therefore not surprised to see him heading down a similar path to McCarthy’s.

So, don’t you have a sense of decency, Paul? Isn’t it embarrassing and destructive enough when you:

Wrongly blamed Charlottesville, Virginia, neo-Nazi march on an innocent, old man in a vicious anti-Semitic attack?

It is claimed that Covid-19 was overpriced and miraculously lost after the election, so deceptive and damning those who believe you, despite the fact that Arizona has the highest infection rate in the world before and after the election. in November?

Marched in England for convicted criminal Tommy Robinson in support of his hateful attacks against British Muslims?

Supported the Cliven Bundy uprising, when Bundy used an armed mob to oppose officials trying to enforce laws that Bundy had clearly violated over the years? (And doubled down on Bundys bigotry by failing to condemn the Bundys horrible racist rant, even though that rant was too much even for Sean Hannity?)

Is an open and trusted birther?

And this is just the beginning of our list, which includes many other examples, from your decision to lobby for John McCains ’seat in the Senate while he was still alive to support Roy Moore’s Senate run, which accused of sexual misconduct with young people when he was in his 30s. (Moore denies the allegations.)

It seems, in fact, that you are immune to embarrassment. In addition to betraying your family and causing irreparable damage to the relationships within it, you decided to betray your country by helping with the January 6 terrorist attack on the Capitol.

For starters, you have repeatedly lied about election results and achieved the sad distinction of being a congressman with the most tweets devoted to election lies and initiating chaos. You then helped organize rallies at Stop the Steal with Ali Alexander while calling President Joe Biden an usurper who stole the election and staged a coup, challenging the crowds to take over the Hill and said the sedition and infidelity for stealing votes is appropriate. You ended your Open Letter to Arizona by calling on supporters to be prepared to defend the Constitution and the White House. Finally, you lied on the floor of Congress and falsely said that hundreds of thousands of ballots in Arizona were deliberately moved from former President Donald Trump to Biden a statistic you surely know is a complete lie.

But just as shockingly, you’re now trying to gaslight everyone by claiming Ashli ​​Babbitt was somehow an innocent bystander as she attempted to read her way into the hallway right outside the room. where you were hiding, with only moments before lying about the election.

Perhaps your lifelong, precarious need for the approval of others has caused you to sacrifice your usual decency and integrity to please Trump and his followers in order to retain your seat.

In fact, your lies helped delay the Capitol Police from clearing the room, and this delay somehow led to the officers ’decision to shoot Babbitt to protect you. And now you have the bile to blame the men and women who are protecting you for his death. Embarrassingly, have you even voted against giving compliments to those who risked their lives to protect yours? You, one of the main proponents of big lies and main instigators of the uprising? Did you leave without respect?

That takes us to your white supremacist ally, Nick Fuentes. How can a hateful boy 40 years your junior be able to lead you with your nose? Let’s start there. And what about Fuentes disgusting and shocking Holocaust denial that you never condemned? Or his racist statements mocking the horrors of Jim Crow, segregation and Derek Chauvins brutal murder of George Floyd, statements you never condemned. What decent person would be with a poor creature? None of your colleagues will approach him.

Maybe you don’t know how you got to this very dark place, Paul. Unfortunately, we have some ideas. Maybe it’s because it’s in your head in Congress and you don’t have the talent, staff or maturity to be in that leadership role. Perhaps your lifelong, precarious need for the approval of others has caused you to sacrifice your usual decency and integrity to please Trump and his followers in order to retain your seat.

The extreme of your beliefs is finally getting the media attention it deserves. What should happen now is you resign. Sadly, it seems unlikely. This means that unless your colleagues come in, you’re likely to be doomed to go down in history as a careful story: a man who betrayed his family, his country and even himself.

Ultimately, the first victim of big lies are the lies you have always told yourself to justify whatever you do, always for your benefit and at the expense of others you really are.
