Congressman Paul Gosar, defender of real-life white supremacists, reportedly was set to speak at an American Populist Union event on April 20 in Tempe, Ariz. — which happens to fall on Hitler’s birthday. Gosar, who recently gave a speech at a junior varsity Ku Klux Klan jamboree in Orlando, Fla., promoted the event on his Instagram page. The congressman’s spokesperson now claims that it was a just big mix-up and that he’s not attending. And, really, who among us hasn’t accidently plugged an upcoming appearance at a racist confab on the Fuhrer’s birthday?
Now, most people avoid this kind of unfortunate snafu by not associating with neo-Nazis in the first place. Of course, even if Gosar went to Tempe and delivered his speech in German, what repercussions would there be? It seems the only way Gosar is going to get into any real trouble with Kevin McCarthy is if Nancy Pelosi puts him on the January 6 committee.
