PHOENIX â The brother of Arizona Representative Paul Gosar (R) said he believes the congressman committed treason for his role in last weekâs riot at the U.S. Capitol. Five people were killed, including a U.S. Capitol police officer.
âWhat heâs done personally is commit treason I think,â David Gosar told ABC15. âHe has blood on his hands for those people dying in there.â
David Gosar and other members of the Gosar family are lobbying members of Congress for an investigation. Theyâre demanding an investigation to find out what role Representative Gosar played in organizing and promoting the mob scene at the Capitol.
The second impeachment of President Donald Trump split Northern Arizonaâs congressional representatives along party lines.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has said the senate wonât hold hearings on whether to convict the President and remove him from office until Jan. 19, the day before the inauguration of President Elect Joe Biden.
Rep. Paul Gosar voted against the impeachment motion, which passed on a 232-197 vote, with just 10 Republicans joining all the House Democrats. Gosarâs District 4 includes most of Western Arizona plus Prescott, Flagstaff, the Verde Valley and Northern Gila County.
âI will be voting NO on the resolution to impeach the president,â said Gosar on Twitter before the Wednesday vote. âThe vandals and rioters who interrupted my floor motion and speech prevented me from completing the official business of the House are solely responsible for their actions, not the President.â
Gosar’s siblings sent a letter to Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D-Ariz.) asking for his help in removing their brother from Congress, the newspaper reported.
It s the third time in three years that members of Gosar s family have publicly voiced their disapproval of the representative.
ADVERTISEMENT We know him to be an extremist and we took that very seriously, Jennifer Gosar told the newspaper. I believe that my brother has been a constant perpetrator of misinformation. . I ve been incredulous at the lack of accountability thus far. I would think Wednesday would be certainly a line. When you talk about what happened the other day, you re talking about treason. You re talking about overthrowing the government. That s what this is. If that doesn t rise to the level of expulsion, what does? said Tim Gosar.
