Paul Gosar Tweets And Then Deletes Lie That The Texas Shooter Was A ‘Transsexual Leftist Illegal Alien’

While we already knew that Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) is one of the most bigoted and disgusting people currently serving in Congress, something he tweeted shortly after a mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, killed 21 people was so tone-deaf (and completely incorrect) that he felt a need to delete the tweet a couple of hours later.

HuffPost notes:

Extremist Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Arizona) deleted a disturbing and offensive tweet Tuesday that falsely claimed the gunman who killed more than 20 people at a Texas school was a “transsexual leftist illegal alien.”

The lawmaker wrote the message in response to a Twitter user who wondered if the shooter was a member of the far-right, “the kind of trash that” Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and Gosar “travel to speak to?” before deleting their tweet.

Gosar’s conspiracy theory about the shooter was also widely disseminated on right-wing media, despite its factual inaccuracy:

Gosar, an anti-immigration hardliner who routinely cozies up to white nationalists, was apparently promoting a false claim circulating on right-wing networks. Users shared images of a trans person unrelated to the attack claiming they were the shooter.

Who needs facts when you’re trying to spread a lie? Right, Paul.

Gosar is such a sorry excuse of a human being that his own family members have urged voters in his district not to support him. They have also suggested he should be held responsible for his role in the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Congress GOP Viral Video WTF?!

Viral Video Shows Paul Gosar Behaving Erratically And Unable To Speak At Trump Rally

Something is terribly wrong with Arizona GOP Rep. Paul Gosar, and it goes way beyond his extremist right-wing political views and fondness for batshit crazy conspiracy theories.

Gosar was one of the speakers at failed, one-term, twice-impeached former President Donald Trump’s rally in Florence, Arizona, on Saturday evening, but when the congressman began speaking, his head swayed back and forth and he was unable to complete some of his sentences. Take a look:

That’s not just sad, it’s pathetic.

Granted, it’d be tempting to say that karma is catching up with Gosar, but many who saw the video couldn’t help but express concern for him, which is something he’s never done for anyone else. After all, this is the same Paul Gosar who posted an anime video of him killing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and President Joe Biden back in November.

Here’s some of the reaction to Gosar’s bizarre behavior:

AOC Emasculates ‘Wet Toothpick’ Gosar In Response To His Violent Video Attack On Her

On Monday, Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) posted a video on Twitter of him killing both President Joe Biden and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).

The video, Salon noted, was based on Japanese anime, and it was filled with simulated violence:

About midway into the video, Attack on the Titan main character Eren Yaeger is shown in a mashup of clips with Gosar’s face photoshopped onto the cartoon character. Swords in both hands, the fictionalized Gosar scales a European-esque urban landscape alongside cartoon versions of Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., and Lauren Bobert, R-Colo., until slaying what appears to be a titan with Ocasio-Cortez’s face photoshopped onto it. 

Toward the end, the cartoon Gosar is shown leaping into the air with his blades unsheathed moments before striking the photoshopped head of President Joe Biden. 

The video and tweet have since disappeared from Gosar’s Twitter page, but many are now calling for the Arizona Republican to be reprimanded:

And yet the response from House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has been silence.

However, Ocasio-Cortez hit Gosar where it would hurt most, and she did it on Twitter so the entire internet could see her takedown of the pathetic little man who thought he could threaten the lives of others and get away with it.

Yep, she went there, and it was freaking brilliant, not to mention well-deserved.

GOP Rep. Paul Gosar Posts Horrific Anime Video Of Him Killing President Biden And AOC

Even among the pack of extremist idiots who populate the right-wing of the Republican Party, Rep. Paul Gosar (AZ) stands out as one of the most disgusting and deplorable GOPers to be found anywhere.

Gosar has ties to several white supremacist groups, and is so unhinged that even his siblings have said he needs to be removed from Congress ASAP.

Today, Gosar has once again stepped way over the line by posting a video on Twitter which shows him killing both President Joe Biden and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).

Jon Skolnik of Salon reports:

The tweeted video – which he captioned, “Any anime fans out there?” – opens with Gosar’s name under Japanese text that reads “attack of immigrants,” an apparent reference to the anime show “Attack on the Titan” from which the Republican pulled various clips.

The video then goes on to show footage of immigrants at the southern border, overlaying the footage with anime-style special effects and crosscutting with interstitials that read “drugs, crime, poverty, money, gangs, violence” and “trafficking.”   

But it’s what happens next that’s so incredibly disturbing and should garner Gosar attention from both the Secret Service and FBI.

About midway into the video, “Attack on the Titan main character Eren Yaeger is shown in a mashup of clips with Gosar’s face photoshopped onto the cartoon character. Swords in both hands, the fictionalized Gosar scales a European-esque urban landscape alongside cartoon versions of Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., and Lauren Bobert, R-Colo., until slaying what appears to be a titan with Ocasio-Cortez’s face photoshopped onto it. 

Toward the end, the cartoon Gosar is shown leaping into the air with his blades unsheathed moments before striking the photoshopped head of President Joe Biden. 

The very idea of such a video is proof-positive that Republicans like Gosar have given up trying to debate ideas and explain where they disagree with their political opponents. Instead, they plot coups by attacking the Capitol and calling for a sitting vice president to be hanged.

Gosar should be charged with threatening the life of the president and a member of Congress. The Justice Department should insist that he be prosecuted. If he’s allowed to get away with this sort of threat, then it’s only a matter of time before we see more violence in the city that just so happens to be the seat of American government.
