GOP Rep. Paul Gosar's Siblings Call for His Removal, Citing Involvement in Capitol Riot
Katherine Fung 1 hr ago
She and her other brother, Tim Gosar, said they are not surprised by their sibling's involvement due to his "pretty right-wing to extremist" background.

"This has been a pattern of conduct, Alisyn, for as long as Paul has been a politician," Tim said on Wednesday.

"I would hearken people back to the start of his congressional career, where he was a birther, where he was saying that President Obama was an illegitimate president and not a U.S. citizen. He called the pope a leftist politician. In 2016, when President Trump won, he said elections have consequences. Get over it. 2017, he said that George Soros was a Nazi sympathizer and gave up his people to the Nazis," he elaborated to CNN.

Tim, who said his brother "played a big role" in the Capitol riot, said that the congressman has "lost sight of what character and integrity mean."

Sometimes the family bonds don't override ethics and patriotism.
