GOP lawmaker's mother sides with him after siblings endorse opponent

Source: Associated Press


BY ARIS FOLLEY - 09/22/18 08:00 PM EDT



The mother of Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) came out in support of her son on Saturday after six of his siblings endorsed his Democratic opponent.

Bernadette Gosar told The New York Times that she was unaware Gosar’s siblings endorsed his Democratic rival, David Brill.

But she told The Times she was "shocked" and "crushed" once she learned of the series of ads Brill unveiled at a fundraiser on Thursday featuring his challenger’s siblings.

Though she told The Times she had a “wonderful family,” she said the Gosar children featured in Brill’s campaign ads don’t share the same the political views as Paul Gosar or herself.

With that said, on a sadder note, wonder how much of this is influenced by Fox News. The GOP son could be parroting what his parents want to hear. This hypothesis is from watching "The Brainwashing of my Dad".

Fox News, we don't just divide the USA, we also divide family and friends....and cash it in at the bank....then convert it to foreign assets in case the shit hits the fan due to our "work".
