Dear Rep. Gosar, Does complying with a LEO’s order to comply only for POC? How many POC have been killed by LEO when they held nothing but a phone in their hands?

Dude she was trespassing.

Why have no charges of incitement been brought against Gosar?

Ok, Gosar siblings. Shunning the asshole wasn’t enough, what next?

Oh, I missed this:

He went on to ask in the statement “why have no charges been brought against the shooter for negligent homicide or more?”

Because shooting that terrorist squarely in center mass was both intentional and justified.

Right? The people of Gosar’s district love this guy. He wins elections by 30+ points every time.

In every picture of Paul Gosar, his countenance would seem to indicate a person who is without a soul and emotionally disturbed. The reason one could draw those conclusions is that both are true.

I’m truly amazed by the restraint shown by the LEO’s at the storming of the door that got Babbitt shot. Lots more could have been justifiably shot.

Asshole.

Cover up for a shooting where the video is crystal clear and shows Babbitt about to climb through the last barrier between the mob and members of Congress? I’d say Gosar is a fool, but it’s obvious to anyone not engorged on the Trump haterade.

I can imagine a different world in which more of these violent trespassers were shot sooner in the attack. If there weren’t bearded white guys, mostly, I think they would have been.

He’s an ahole and an insurrectionist. EXPEL him from Congress.

So next time the Capitol Hill Police should just let the mob kill this MF. Problem solved.
