Rep. Gosar's outspoken brother and sister - WOW

https://www.msnbc.com/deadline-white-house/watch/tim-gosar-calls-for-brother-rep-paul-gosar-to-be-expelled-from-congress-126475845766

Listening to Gosar's sister & brother speak so eloquently, denouncing his heinous acts, saying he needs to be expelled from Congress and prosecuted, of the need to protect democracy and offering praise of AOC - it amazes me that siblings born of the same parents can be so drastically different.
Then again i'm not terribly surprised given i have a couple of trump-supporting siblings as well.

Gosar's other siblings also denounce him here: https://www.businessinsider.com/paul-gosar-siblings-denounce-him-in-scathing-op-ed-2021-8?international=true&r=US&IR=T

She has been fed a steady diet of FAUX, Snoozemax and every extreme RW blogger for many years. She is not as bad as MTG or Gosar but bad enough that we cannot have a normal conversation without politics inevitably coming up.

Rather than stirring anything toxic, most of my family just does not talk to her anymore which is a shame.

One of my errant siblings just texted me last night inviting us to her house for Thanksgiving. I will inform her thanks but no thanks. This sister unfortunately has a blindly party loyal spouse and has been influenced by his stupidity. My other sibling is a Faux News fan.

McCarthy needs to be replaced, too, along with Steve Scalise and Jordan..

Gaetz and Boebart are on their last legs. Both are in read danger of the law.

It is just another replay of what has then place throughout history. The trial of Socrates some four hundred years before the birth Jesus is a prime example of the power of demagoguery.

is maga unfortunately because of her husband. She’s not super outspoken around my other sister and me since we are Democrats. She doesn’t live here, so we don’t hear about her beliefs much thankfully. She and her husband did believe in the vaccine at least and got the booster shots.
