Paul Gosar (R-AZ) has any regrets about being the keynote speaker at a white nationalist conference last month, he sure has a funny way of showing it, tweeting a meme that appeared to show a man offering to pay a prostitute to use the group’s slogan. (Happy International Women’s Day, Ladies!)
Gosar made headlines in February when he delivered the keynote address at the America First Political Action Conference (AFPAC), and then spoke at the more mainstream Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) the next morning. AFPAC organizer
Nicholas Fuentes designed his event to be a rival to CPAC, even scheduling the conference in Orlando, Fl. at a hotel not far from the CPAC venue. Gosar was also one of thirteen GOP representatives who skipped a House vote to attend CPAC, claiming they could not attend due to the pandemic.

Policy in stark contrast to neighboring border states
SAN DIEGO, Calif. (KYMA, KECY) - California will free up as much as $28 million to help immigrants arriving in the U.S. from Mexico, and to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
The funding comes as President Joe Biden rolls back Trump-era immigration policies, like Wait in Mexico. It prevented asylum-seekers from awaiting their court dates in the U.S. Now migrants are once again crossing the border in anticipation of those proceedings.
California will pay for hotel rooms in which immigrants can quarantine after entering the country. Once they re proven coronavirus-free, they ll be allowed to continue on to wherever they plan to await their asylum hearing. The state will also cover the cost of short-term health care for migrants, including virus testing.
