While the civilized world was mourning the massacre of school children and their teachers on Tuesday evening, Rep. Paul Gosar was already up on his high horse, using the shooter to advance on two fronts in the far right’s culture wars.
Gosar announced to the world that the alleged shooter, 18-year-old Salvador Ramos, was “a transsexual leftist illegal alien.”
Arizona Congressman Paul Gosar is known for his appeals and hat-tips to extremists, from hanging out with openly white nationalist bloggers to advertising his attendance at a far-right event that was to take place on Adolf Hitler’s birthday.
But even some of his supporters appeared surprised at a post Gosar made Tuesday on Gab and Wednesday on Twitter. Gosar posted a meme called “Dark MAGA” that has begun trending among far-right spaces, which contained an apparent reference to the Holocaust that’s popular among neo-Nazis.
The post shows Gosar’s face with a dark red filter. The text reads: “Remember when our government sent planes to Afghanistan and brought over 100,000 Afghans in less than a week? We have in the range of up to 40 million illegal aliens in our country. They can be deported by planes, trains and buses. We could easily deport 6 million each year.”
After the Arizona Mirrorinquired about the meme, it was taken down from Twitter and Gab, and the reference to 6 million was removed in a subsequent repost, though a spokesperson for Gosar denied that the post was intended to reference Dark MAGA.
Never heard of him. Sounds like he fits right in this thread tho!
Gosar won a fifth term in office last November in his Trump-friendly district. Millions of ad views didn’t translate into votes. Gosar crushed his Democratic opponent by almost 40 points.
Republican primary Debate in the CO 4 district that Boebert is running to. Candidates asked to raise their hands if they’ve been arrested - 6 of 9 raise hands, to applause. Trent Leisy, arrested for harassing a child, high fives Boebert and CO house gop leader Mike Lynch, who recently resigned after his DUI and gun charges became public.
The Colorado GOP’s mass email titled “God Hates Pride,” read, in part, “The month of June has arrived and, once again, the godless groomers in our society want to attack what is decent, holy, and righteous so they can ultimately harm our children.”
The message to Colorado Republicans was headlined with an image reading “God Hates Flags,” a nod to the anti-gay slur on the picket signs of the infamous Westboro Baptist Church.
He didn’t say a word. What’s far more important is what word YOU think he said. Maybe he has a st st stutter a la Joe Biden. “Hattian migrants” were two WORDS he used.
It sure sounded like the n word .I’m pretty sure you heard it too, otherwise you wouldn’t be playing this he didn’t say anything nonsense game. This is the scumbag GOP thread - can’t you just admit this dude sure seems like a scumbag? What’s even the argument? Why play these games to defend him?
He said “Haitian,” and then he stuttered a phoneme, then he said “Migrants.”
I’m sure it did-- to you. I’m also sure you completed that word in your head–even though he didn’t finish whatever it was.
IDK this guy. Is he a republican?
Seems to be your bias.
Am I? I’m simply saying he didn’t say what YOU think he said. he said something that sounded like the beginning of what you think he said-- and YOU filled in the rest.
That’s quite a skillset you have there.
He’s talking about immigration, and you hear dog whistle. Why are you incapable of listening to what he actually SAYS and focus instead on what he didn’t say? I mean, there IS a immigration problem, don’t you think? Certainly in Springfield, right?
Or is the REAL problem that some noname bozo almost said the GASP N-word? Go to an innercity high school. You’ll hear that word 100 times before lunch.
I didn’t need to finish jack shit in my head - he finished the whole word. You need to listen again.
He’s the editor of the national review.
For real, what word do you think came out of his mouth?
He said every (all two of them) syllable of the word.
This is the scumbag thread - that you started - I’m pointing out the scumbag parts. You seem to have an issue with that in this case. Move on if you don’t want to talk this scumbag. He’s a scummy n* word dropping fucker.
The classic “they say it so it’s not a big deal!” Ha.
