Arizona Congressman Paul Gosar was 1 of only 3 (Republicans) who realized the U.S. House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed a secret roadmap to get U.S. to go into Ukraine to confront nuclear power Russia. However, he couldn’t even get the bill number right, let alone his interpretation of the substance!
The U.S. House of Representatives voted 426-3 today to support the people of Ukraine. Arizona’s Paul Gosar (R-CD4) was one of those “nays”. His reasoning completely misreads the resolution.
Gosar was joined by fellow Republicans Kentucky’s Thomas Massie and Montana’s Matt Rosendale. They are obviously the only three who misread the plain language as a declaration of war.
Gosar issued his anti-war manifesto on Twitter tonight, claiming “There is language in HR 956 giving Ukraine defacto NATO status with reference to Art. 5. Which is mandatory war authorization.”
This would come as major news to the rest of the House, President Joe Biden and the rest of the world.
(As a side note, Gosar has been in Congress for long enough that he should automatically type the correct bill or resolution number. “HR
956″ would be a bill to pass law. What he voted on today was “H.Res. 956”, which is a resolution. Searching for “HR 956” would bring you to the pending “National Aviation Heritage Area Reauthorization Act“.)
