Accused January 6 insurrectionist enablers Andy Biggs and Paul Gosar have again shown Arizonans and the American People what reactionary white nationalist Anti Americans they are.
Yesterday, they and 19 other of the usual Blackshirt suspects voted against honoring the Capitol Police with Congressional Gold Medals for their part in protecting them during the January 6, 2021, Domestic Terrorist Insurrection at the Nation’s Capitol.
Today, these two Trump Zone residents, with 12 other white nationalist members of Fox Island voted against making June 19 (Juneteenth,) the day slavery ended in the United States, a federal holiday.
These 14 individuals (which includes fellow insurrectionist Mo Brooks) might as well create the “white people with the white hoods” caucus because that is what they are.
The two Democrats vying to politically retire Gosar in 2022 offered their perspective on his fringe votes the last two days.
Delina DiSanto, who was also the 2020 Democratic Congressional District Four Candidate against Gosar, tweeted:
.@RepGosar was 1 of 21 GOP members to vote against awarding a Gold Medal to Capitol/DC Police for their heroic efforts on Jan 6.
Remember this every single time he tells you he ‘backs the blue.’ https://t.co/YB3uls7Yth

The other Democratic Candidate Judy Stahl relayed her thoughts on Gosar’s two votes:
“This is yet another attempt by Paul Gosar to continue to espouse conspiracy theories about what really happened on January 6th and deflect blame away from himself. The attack on the Capitol on January 6th was nothing short of an attempted coup. To call it anything else is a disservice to the brave men and women who were there protecting our elected officials, and to ignore their service on that day is shameful.”
“No one is shocked that Gosar is one of the few to vote against the commemoration of the end of slavery in the United States. This is a man who’s strongest supporters are violent white nationalists. The fact of the matter is we need leaders in Congress who will recognize racial inequality as a serious systemic issue and take decisive action to solve it. Gosar will only deny the issue in an effort to divide us, and he will do whatever he can to protect those who commit violence against Americans of color. His failure to show the bare minimum of decency is shameful.”
Paul Gosar, Andy Biggs, and the others that voted against honoring the Capitol Police or making the day that ended slavery in this country a federal holiday are insults to public service.
They have no business being the people’s representatives and should be voted out in 2022 if they have not been arrested by the F.B.I. and Justice Department for helping the Domestic Terrorists on January 6, 2021, before then.

I can’t believe Kavanagh continues to post his “thoughts” on a public website, where everyone can read them and marvel at his lack of insight on any given topic and his complete lack of self awareness.
On a daily basis, Biggs, Gosar, Kavanagh, just about everyone in the AZGQP, find new and increasingly dumber ways to embarrass our state.
“And while the capitol rioters are to be condemned and deserve punishment, to say they threatened American democracy is too ridiculous to be entertained.”
John, what is factual about the insurrection is that Trump thought that Pence could be pressured into rejecting the electoral vote. The insurrectionists were there to apply that pressure as in “Hang Mike Pence.” The “bare chested horned mentally ill icon” was not intended to be the leader, Trump was to be the leader.
As you know, or maybe you don’t, Trump is now saying he will be re-instated by August. Your favorite president is the true “mentally ill icon,”
Stay cool.
The Capitol Police protect the capitol and the Border Patrol protect the border. Why wouldn’t Dems honor both? And while the capitol rioters are to be condemned and deserve punishment, to say they threatened American democracy is too ridiculous to be entertained. Do you really think Arizona’s bare chested horned mentally ill icon almost became our leader. OMG, you can’t be serious.
Why wouldn’t Republicans like Gosar, Biggs, Brooks, and Finchem honor them both. Yes, I stand by the contention that the domestic terrorist insurrectionists tried to overthrow our Democracy on January 6, 2021. They are the ones who chanted hang Mike Pence and were doing the bidding of Donald Trump who said he would go to the Capitol with them (and then like the coward he is did not,) in trying to overthrow the election results which gave Joe Biden and you victories in 2020 in order to keep him in the Oval Office. You can not be serious John. Do you really think I meant the horned bare-chested dude? I never even mentioned him in my previous comment.
Reminds me of the day earlier this year when every Arizona House democrat voted against honoring the U.S. Border Patrol.
That is a very poor attempt at what about ism. You can not possibly compare a vote against honoring the U.S. Border Patrol to honoring the Capitol Police that saved American Democracy when Domestic Terrorists doing the bidding of Duce want to be Donald Trump, invaded the Nation’s Capitol on January 6, 2021. Do you really think they are the same John? By the way, you have never responded to any of my follow-up questions in earlier posts. If you truly believe your positions, they should not be difficult to articulate and defend.
