Arizona Congressman Paul Gosar will likely not be attending Thanksgiving with his extended family this year. Or any year, for that matter. That’s because six of his siblings just released a television ad to endorse his rival for Congress, Democrat David Brill.
It opens with “Grace, rural physician”, declaring, “Paul Gosar the congressman isn’t doing anything to support rural America.”
“Paul’s absolutely not working for his district,” says “David, lawyer”.
“If he actually cared about people in rural Arizona, I bet he’d be fighting for social security, for better access to healthcare,” agrees “Jennifer, medical interpreter”.
“He is not listening to you, and he does not have your best interests at heart,” “Tim” agrees.
The bombshell? These aren’t actors, folks. They are Paul Gosar’s brothers and sisters.

Paul Gosar made headlines after the white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017, by suggesting it was facilitated by “the Left” to undermine Donald Trump. Then, in an interview with Vice News, he branded Democratic Party donor George Soros as a Nazi collaborator.
Other controversies by Paul Gosar include boycotting a 2015 speech to Congress by Pope Francis, calling his support for climate change “questionable science” deployed “to guilt people into leftist policies”.
He has also defended far-right activist Tommy Robinson, and recently met with islamophobic extremists in London.
What else is in store for the disowned sib?
The siblings, who have been horrified by their brothers views are not going to sit by idly, watching their brother represent their family. Another new TV ad will soon debut, entitled, “A family defends its honor,” where David Gosar says: “We’ve got to stand up for our good name, this is not who we are.”
The Gosar siblings defend their honor and endorse Dr. David Brill for Congress.
