      From: januarybaybee@gmail.com              Talk about 'insider information'....... these 6 individuals know their brother       and they want the voters to know too.        _________________________              Rep. Paul Gosar's siblings in new ad: Don't vote for our brother              Washington (CNN)Six siblings of Republican Rep. Paul Gosar delivered a stark       message in a new television advertisement: Vote for their brother's opponent.       The Democrat challenging Gosar in Arizona's 4th District unveiled a new ad       Friday that features Grace, David, Jennifer, Tim, Joan and Gaston lambasting       Gosar over Social Security, health care, water policy and more.              "Paul's absolutely not working for his district," David says.              Then comes the big reveal: Gosar is their brother -- but they endorse David       Brill, the Democrat running against him.              Paul Gosar is the oldest of 10 children.              In response to the ad, Gosar told CNN in a statement Saturday that the       siblings featured in the ad are "liberal Democrats who hate President Trump"       and slammed Bill for engaging "in this shameful attack."              "These disgruntled Hillary suppporters (sic) are related by blood to me but       like leftists everywhere, they put political ideology before family. Lenin,       Mao and Kim Jung (sic) Un would be proud," Gosar said. "It is unfortunate       that my opponent chose to        use family political differences to launch attacks on me rather than focusing       on the issues."              He added, "You can't pick your family. We all have crazy aunts and relatives       etc and my family is no different. I hope they find peace in their hearts and       let go all the hate. To the six angry Democrat Gosars -- see you at Mom and       Dad's house!"              Gosar has a long history of controversial remarks and actions. He promoted the       conspiracy theory that the white supremacists' rally in Charlottesville,       Virginia, last year was a plot by the left financed by Democratic megadonor       George Soros, who Gosar        said "turned in his own people to the Nazis."              In July, Gosar spoke in London at a rally for an anti-Muslim activist. He is       also one of the staunchest opponents of legal rights for undocumented       "Dreamers" in Congress.              His district, made up of mostly rural western Arizona, is generally not       considered competitive in November: Gosar won by more than 40 percentage       points in 2016. President Donald Trump won there by 39 points in 2016, and       Mitt Romney carried the district        by 36 points in 2012.              But the sharply personal ad is certain to generate attention for Brill's       campaign.       The Phoenix New Times reported that the ad and others were unveiled at a       fundraiser in Phoenix on Thursday night -- and that in another spot, which is       not public yet, Grace Goser says that "it would be difficult to see my brother       as anything but a racist.       "              It's just the latest ad to feature a politician's family member this year.              In Wisconsin, Democrat Randy Bryce's brother is featured in an ad backing       Republican Bryan Steil in the 1st District race for retiring House Speaker       Paul Ryan's seat.              And the parents of Republican Kevin Nicholson, who was a Senate candidate in       Wisconsin before he lost the primary to state Sen. Leah Vukmir, gave the       maximum contributions allowable under federal campaign finance law to the       Democratic incumbent whom        Nicholson hoped to challenge, Sen. Tammy Baldwin.        ________________              The video ad is here:       https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/21/politics/paul-gosar-siblings-ad/index.html              also:       https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Gosar        ______________                     IOW: Vote for David Brill - the Democrat candidate              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
