John,

I’m leading the charge to censure GOP Rep. Paul Gosar – and the reason is deeply personal.

Last month, it emerged that two of Gosar’s staffers are supporters of the avowed Nazi and prominent antisemite Nick Fuentes, and were photographed alongside him recently at a far-right rally.

As a proud Jewish woman whose grandfather was murdered in the Holocaust, these revelations are deeply disturbing – but this isn’t just about my personal heritage. It is incredibly dangerous to allow members of Congress to harbor neo-Nazi extremists in their offices. It would normalize hateful ideologies in the highest levels of our government, and as elected leaders, it is our duty to condemn it.

Maxwell and I are fighting to hold Congress to a higher standard, and to send a message that hate and violent extremism has no home in Washington. Will you please split a donation of $15 or more to support Maxwell and I as we fight to hold MAGA extremists and hateful politicians accountable in Washington? >>

In 2021, Rep. Gosar was formally censured and stripped of his committee assignments for sharing a cartoon depicting the murder of my colleague, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Now, Gosar’s behavior and rhetoric has gotten even more disturbing and antisemitic. This year, he compared the Ukrainian government to Nazis on Israel’s Holocaust Remembrance Day, shared a link in his official newsletter leading to an antisemitic website that deemed senior U.S. officials “Jewish warmongers”, and spoke at an international conservative summit attended by some of the world’s most prominent far-right figures.

Thank you,

Becca Balint
