>>> FAR RIGHT REPUBLICANS LIKE
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE AND MATT
GAETZ SHAMELESSLY SPEW WHITE
NATIONALIST IDEOLOGY AND TALKING
POINTS.
POLITICAL MESSAGE IS BEYOND
EXTREME BUT THEYRE MORE OR LESS
CARNIVAL BARKERS, IN IT FOR THE
SELF-PROMOTION.
BIGGER DANGER IS HOUSE REPUBLICANS LIKE PAUL GOSAR, HE
REPUBLICANS LIKE PAUL GOSAR, HE
FLIESAR THE FLIES UNDER THE
RADAR, NOT AS LOUD A TALKER.
BEFORE THE INSURRECTION, SAID
THIS.
>> ONCE WE CONQUER THE HILL,
DONALD TRUMP WILL RETURN TO
BEING PRESIDENT.
>> BEEN ACCUSED AS ONE OF THE
ORGANIZERS OF THE STOP THE STEAL
RALLY THAT SPARKED THE
INSURRECTION.
>> I CAME UP WITH THE JANUARY
6th IDEA WITH CONGRESSMAN GOSAR.
>> ON JANUARY 6th, PAUL GOSAR
POSTED PHOTOS OF THE RALLY THAT
TURNED INTO VIOLENT MOB AND NOW
HES EMBRACED WHITE NATIONALIST
LEADER NICK FUENTES, GROWING
ACCEPTANCE OF EXTREMISM, ACCUSED
OF HOLOCAUST DENIAL AND SAID THE
FOUNDERS NEVER INTENDED FOR
AMERICA TO BE REFUGEE CAMP FOR
NON-WHITE PEOPLE.
HE WAS KEYNOTE SPEAKER AT
CONFERENCE FOR HIM.
WRITTEN TO FBI TO DEFEND HIM AND
NICK FUENTES CLAIMED TO BE
FUNDRAISING FOR HIM. TODAY TWITTER FINALLY SUSPENDED
TODAY TWITTER FINALLY SUSPENDED
FUENTES BUT GOSAR CONTINUES TO
SPEW HATE AS MEMBER OF CONGRESS
AND KEVIN McCARTHY SAYS NOTHING.
JENNIFER GOSAR, PAUL GOSARS
YOUNGER SISTER AND OUTSPOKEN
CRITIC.
AND SCHOOL OF COMMUNICATION
AMERICAN UNIVERSITY FACULTY
FELLOW OF EXTREMISM RESEARCH AND
INNOVATION LAB.
CURT, HOW DANGEROUS TO HAVE
ELECTED MEMBERS OF THE UNITED
STATES CONGRESS PLAYING FOOTSIE
WITH HOLOCAUST DENIERS AND WHITE
NATIONALISTS, TWEETING OUT THEIR
TALKING POINTS?
>> EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.
GOSAR NOT A SPEAKER BUT A DOER.
ONE OF THE BIGGEST DANGERS OF
INDIVIDUALS LIKE GOSAR IS NOT
JUST WHAT HE SAYS BUT THINGS HE
DOESNT SAY.
TRYING TO DISTANCE HIMSELF NOW
FROM NICK FUENTES AND AMERICA
FIRST MOVEMENT BUT FACT THAT
FUENTES AND OTHER FAR RIGHT
GROUPS THINK THEY HAVE ALLY IN
ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE IN
CONGRESS IS A HUGE BOON FOR
THEM, REGARDLESS OF WHAT GOSAR
SAYS OR DOESNT SAY.
>> YES, IT IS, SADLY.
JENNIFER, YOU AND YOUR SIBLINGS
GRABBED HEADLINES IN 2018 WHEN
YOU TOLD VOTERS IN ARIZONA NOT
TO VOTE FOR YOUR BROTHER AND
ACCUSED HIM OF ANTI-SEMITISM,
BOLD MOVE.
HES ONLY BECOME WORSE.
I GUESS ITS DIFFICULT HAVING
FAMILY NAME GOSAR WHEN HES MOST
FAMOUS ONE OF YOU.
>> YES, IT IS, BUT ITS
IMPORTANT NO MATTER WHAT THE
NAME IS TO STAND UP TO IT EVERY
WAY, SHAPE OR FORM.
I AGREE, HES A VERY POWERFUL
FORCE WITHIN THIS TYPE OF CULT
FASCIST GROUP OF PEOPLE, RIGHT,
PAUL IS THERE.
HE WAS PROPONENT OF THE BIG LIE.
CONSTANTLY OUT AT RALLIES.
ALEXANDER IS NOT REFERRING TO
HIM OUT OF NOWHERE.
MULTIPLE TWEETS BACK AND FORTH.
NICK FUENTES, IN SPANISH THE
SOURCE OR SOMETHING.
HE IS A GARBAGE FOUNTAIN, A
GARBAGE SOURCE AND PAUL HAS BEEN
WITH HIM TIME AND AGAIN.
WHERE IS CENSOR, WHERE IS
EXPULSION, WHERE ARE THE
CHARGES?
>> REPUBLICAN PARTY BECOMES MORE
RADICALIZED AND RACIST.
I REMEMBER SARAH PALIN, MICHELLE
BACKMAN, DONALD TRUMP, NOW ITS
IN CONGRESS.
I FEEL LIKE IF PARTY LEADERSHIP
WANTED TO STOP IT, ITS TOO
LATE.
THIS IS WHAT THE GRAND OLD PARTY
IS NOW.
>> SEEMS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO
DO SO, I THINK YOURE ABSOLUTELY
RIGHT.
IN THE WAKE OF THE DONALD TRUMP
PRESIDENCY, LEFT A HUGE
CONSTITUENCY OF INDIVIDUALS ON
THE FAR RIGHT.
WHAT WE SEE NOW ARE INDIVIDUALS
LEFT IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
TRYING TO SCRAPE UP THE
CONSTITUENTS.
LARGE NUMBER OF DISAFFECTED
INDIVIDUALS WHO FEEL THE
ELECTION WAS STOLEN, AND
OFFICIALS SEE IT AS A POLITICAL
OPPORTUNITY FOR THEMSELVES.
UNFORTUNATELY SERVES POLITICIAN
TO GET THE CONSTITUENTS AND
SERVES FAR RIGHT CONSTITUENTS,
BECAUSE THEY GET THE LEGITIMACY
OF HAVING A POLITICIAN ON THEIR
SIDE.
>> YEAH.
JENNIFER, NO ONE EXPECTS KEVIN
McCARTHY TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT
YOUR BROTHER BUT WHAT ABOUT THE
DEMOCRATS?
HEAR MORE PUBLIC CRITICISM OF
HIS ROLE IN THE INSURRECTION AND
BIG LIE FROM HIS SIBLINGS THAN
FROM NANCY PELOSI OR OTHER HOUSE
DEMOCRATIC LEADER.
>> WEVE BEEN SCRATCHING OUR
HEADS TO FIGURE IT OUT AS WELL.
THEYRE IN EVERY WAY, SHAPE OR
FORM, A LYNCH MOB GOING AFTER
MIKE PENCE, AND DIFFERENTLY
TARGETING NANCY PELOSI, THE
SQUAD AND OTHERS.
SQUAD HAS BEEN OUTSPOKEN IN SO
MANY PARTS OF THIS CORRUPT PAST
FOUR YEARS, AND CONTINUE ON, BUT
NANCY PELOSI, CHUCK SCHUMER,
HONESTLY WHERE IS THE DEMOCRATIC
LEADERSHIP?
I REALLY ONLY HEAR FROM JAYAPAL,
MY REPRESENTATIVE HERE IN
WASHINGTON STATE AND DIDNT TAKE
HER UP ON THE CHARGES AND
INVESTIGATION SHE INITIATED.
I DONT KNOW WHAT THEY -- THEIR
LIVES WERE IN DANGER AND
ALLOWING ONE MORE DAY FOR PAUL
AND HIS ILK TO FUNDRAISE TO
DISTRACT WITH ASHLI BABBITT AND
OTHER THINGS, CONTINUES THE
NARRATIVE AND THE MACHINE
ROLLING.
>> EVERY DAY HE TEEM SEEMS TO
GET MORE EXTREME AND NO ETHICS
COMPLAINTS OR CHARGES, STRIPPING
OF COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENTS JUST
LOOK AT MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENES
CARNIVAL BARKING.
WROTE THIS IN A REPORT.
FUENTES LARGELY AVOIDS BLATANT
WHITE SUPREMACIST LANGUAGE,
FOCUSES ON ANTI-ESTABLISHMENT
THINKS, TARGETING MAINSTREAM AND
LEFTISTS, THIS ALLOWS AMERICA
FIRST TO ATTRACT YOUNGER,
MAINSTREAM CONSERVATIVES THEN
EXPOSED TO THE IDEOLOGY.
THAT IS HAPPENING ACROSS PARTS
OF THE RIGHT AND ONLINE.
P
ITS POPULAR SADLY WITH A LOT OF
PEOPLE.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
WE JUST FINISHED A STUDY AT
POLARIZATION AND EXTREMISM
INNOVATION LAB AND FOUND
INDIVIDUALS EXPOSED TO THESE
MEMES AND MESSAGES THROUGH WHAT
WE CALL SUBVERSIVE OUTLETS, ARE
MORE LIKELY TO BE PERSUADED BY
RIGHT-WING PROPAGANDA.
GETTING IN FRONT OF EYES AND
APPEALING.
