Rep. Gosar Continues Deeply Problematic Promotion of Anti-Semitic News Sites With His Official House.Gov Newsletter
ARIZONA – Last week, Rep. Paul Gosar (AZ-09) used his official House.gov newsletter to promote USSA News, a site that has posted content telling readers to “stand up for Hitler.” Rep. Gosar’s promotion of an antisemitic news site comes months after he sent followers to another news organization that denied the Holocaust and praised Hitler from his official newsletter. Rep. Gosar has an unrelenting past of embracing Holocaust denialism with newsletters, Twitter posts, and personal associations with known White Nationalists.
