as you pointed out, paul gosar already has been linked directly and personally. his relationship with this neo-nazi leader has been one of alternately embracing him and distancing himself from him. as you alluded to, paul gosar has appeared at two editions of nick fuentes political action conference, once in person and once by video. but after the second one caused backlash, gosar says nick has a problem with his mouth and attempt to to disavow him somewhat. he has operated with a bit of plausible deniability as he has repeatedly been tied to extremist activity, including having antisemitic websites appearing in his official newsletter. i think this story, one of the key things about it is it removes that veil a plausible deniability for paul gosar. what i found is the staffer in his office, evidence appears to link him to this digital persona , this network of interlinked social media accounts that has put up extremist content, including statements referring to jews as "hooked nose bankers" and minimizing slavery. and in addition to just being a social media acc

averaged out to paul gosar for comment.nly thing we've seen as paul gosar actually shrugging off replies on his twitter feed. i'm not surprised by that, honestly. because paul gosar, as you alluded to, has one of the most extreme histories in the current congress. he's sent out links to antisemitic newsletters, he's appeared twice at nick fuentes's political conference. this was a bit of an open secret on the far-right. they were tweeting about how this guy was on the staff. that is how i caught on to it. researchers in arizona, like haley ryan and nick martin, who i worked with, we're chasing this stuff. we put it all together. i don't think we will see action. part of that is because of what we are talking about right now. i think senator tuberville said the quiet part out loud. this is the modern republican party. white nationalism is a part of it, and explicitly so. you see people like gosar and marjorie taylor greene embrace of the term christian nationalism that couldn't be played before, where they are attacking the

you have paul gosar who is employing a white nationalist, who himself has employed white nationalist commentary. he's still there. you have the matt gaetzs of the world, you have marjorie taylor greene and others who are out vocally supporting the choking death of jordan neely, which has been determined in your state of new york, my home state of new york, as being a homicide. and they're out vocally supporting him, as is a former colleague of yours in the house, ron desantis, the current governor of florida. i would find it difficult to work with people under those circumstances but i wonder what you make of this rush to support vigilanteism before there's been an adjudication of the case. >> extreme maga republicans portray themselves as the party of law and order. that's phony, that's fake, that's false. they continue to demonstrate that they are the party of lawlessness and disorder. that's why they're supporting santos, that's why they appear to be supporting vigilante action. they have done this before. they did it in wisconsin. this is who they are. they want to defund the fbi

also, to paul gosar, the fact that paul gosar has been trafficking in white supremacy is not breakingrie taylor greene. but you'll notice something. there is no movement to expel him, to strip him of his committee assignments. there's no movement whatsoever. it was just a few years ago that republicans decided that someone like steve king, the congressman of iowa, needed to be stripped of his assignments because he was trafficking in white supremacy. we're now at a point in kevin mccarthy's house where there are no consequences whatsoever for engaging in this kind of behavior or sidling up to this kind of rhetoric. and that i think is the real danger that in fact the permission structure has not just been given to the most extreme organizations, it's been given to millions of americans who are going, huh, maybe, you know, this is going on, maybe i should listen to these people and find this kind of rhetoric acceptable. and i see that as a growing threat. you would have thought that the murders in buffalo would have been a wake-up call. they were not. >> so innocent victims in buffalo

we reached out to congressman paul gosar for response and we have not heard back. i will say, he is invited to come in the show and explain. to me, to, chevy one. why this member of his staff, in an apparent supporter of a white nationalist, is currently receiving a government salary. -- >> i would say, so, my vision for twitter is to be a cybernetic collective mind for humanity. >> all right, slow down there, there is a better way to manage diabetes. the dexcom g7 continuous glucose monitoring system eliminates painful finger sticks, helps lower a1c, and it's covered by medicare. before using the dexcom g7, i was really frustrated. all of that finger pricking and all that pain, my a1c was still stuck. before dexcom g7, i couldn't enjoy a single meal. i was always trying to outguess my glucose, and it was awful. before dexcom g7, my diabetes was out of control because i was tired, not having the energy to do the things that i wanted to do.

to win over insane dentist and congressman from arizona, paul gosar, he promised to hold the queen in his mouth until he's covered with an entire hive of bees. to appease florida congressman matt gaetz, he promised to wrestle an alligator while dressed as an alligator. but none of these concessions were enough to sway the far right holdouts. >> a speaker has not been elected. >> so in an act of spineless desperation, he has agreed to strap meat on his head and face off against a komodo dragon. in: the g.o.p. holdouts have switched their votes from jim jordan to the komodo dragon. >> announcer: it's "the late show with stephen colbert." tonight... house of the drag on. first, stephen welcomes shania twain and ayo edebiri. featuring louis cato and "the late show" band. and now, live on tape from the ed sullivan theater in new york city, it's stephen colbert! [applause] >> stephen: there you go. ♪ ♪ happy, happy, happy. hey, everybody! thank you very much. thank you. up there, down there. all around. thank you, ladies and gentlemen. >> stephen! stephen! >> stephen: that's the best. hey!

another good example just in the last few weeks is paul gosar's, the revelation that they employs oncontributed to nick fuentes and other white power activists, has posted on white power websites. now all of this has made somewhat more complicated because this is an opportunistic movement that is constantly seeking ways to expand and reinvent itself. so we have just come through this story of the allen texas shooting with the latino neo-nazi gunman. and now we seem to have in this white house event a southern diane person who has identified with part of this movement and with a neo-nazi flag. the sort of expanding access to the symbols is one of the things that is different in this present a movement, but again history gives us some parables to work with here. for instance, the inclusion of skinhead activists in the late 1980s which also was for the people in the white power movement and then, a very very different cultural presentation but was deemed necessary because of what they saw as a state of emergency that required everyone to mobilize and use whatever army they could find. a

hosts the white supremacist conference that has featured such speakers as republican congressman paul gosarenying bigot donald trump and kanye west and others dined with at mar-a-lago in november last year, shockingly. trump would go on to say he does not know anything about fuentes, though he did not condemn fuentes' thoughts, his hideous ideology, or kanye west for that matter. and none of that, of course, is stopping perhaps surprisingly trump's golf resort from hosting other individuals who spew vial anti-semitic hate-filled rhetoric. featured speakers include former michael flynn, mypillow conspiracy theorist mike lindell and many more. also scheduled to appear according to the convention's website, two blatant antisemites who have repeatedly promoted literally pro hitler propaganda. the first, scott mccay, he hosts a streaming show on rumble, where he among other things promotes a bizarre anti-semitic conspiracy theory about what these particular antisemites call the kazarian mob. that is the adl describes it as a theory involving certain kinds of jews who had a secret agenda to under

then, there's arizona congressman paul gosar, who has had an alleged white supremacist on staff for two years, according to talking points memo, his digital director has pledged his loyalty to nick fuentes, who spes slurs like they're pronouns. gosar has amplified social media posts from white supremacists and neonazis and delivered a keynote address at a conference hosted by fuentes. take a look at some of the other elected members of the republican party. congressman george santos who was arrested and indicted on 13 charges accused of duping donors, stealing from his campaign and lying to congress. yesterday, after his party moved to block an expulsion vote, he defended himself. >> i think that this was the right decision for all of us, and i look forward to continuing to defend myself, again, innocent until proven guilty. that is a right we all have. >> mind you, this is the guy who was busted for lying about his education, his employment history, hifinances, and his philanthropic endeavors. as he was uttering those words, his fellow new yorkers, representatives jamaal bowman and ale

community that kevin is much more comfortable with than a lunatic caucus of marjorie taylor greene, paul gosard et cetera, those people have been beating him over the head, saying you better not crash this economy. this is an absolutely foolish, suicidal game you are playing. but, on the other hand, he knows that matt gaetz and the jobs are going to go out there, and try to blow up the speakership. so kevin understood this as a very existential start to the country, and i think he's going to have it open to most days, but you can negotiate with terrorists. in the anarchists, in the terrace, in the, nihilists who define the majority of the republican caucus today, really don't want this deal to happen. they want, and, look ronna mcdaniel said, she thought that a default would be great for republican candidates. she said it three days ago, it is absolutely most grotesque an unacceptable thing. and mccarthy isn't some pretty water here, as my friend said, my friend's does go into mccarthy's side of the court. the president has done when he came to do, he negotiated a deal, and now, kevin mccarthy

the paul gosar aide who is a white nationalist activist and then the conspiracy theory crowd.k about the reporting you found on the man who attacked gerry connolly's office and staffers. >> this is a man who believed in a particularly ridiculous conspiracy theory that he was being tracked by the cia and he was being wrongfully imprisoned in the fourth demention is what he wrote, in a lawsuit against the cia last year. totally wild stuff. you know, and on the internet this is a community called gang stalking. they think they're being tracked and tortured all day long by like secret weapons. that by itself has always existed. there have always been crazy people who believe crazy people stuff. but now when there's a political party who is saying actually, yeah, the cia is doing weird stuff all the time, who knows what the end is, it could target you, that's when it gets really dangerous. >> david jolly, ben collins, thank you both. >> still ahead, remember in 2019 when john durham began an investigation that was supposed to deliver bombshells about the origins of the trump russia

santos, but i'm not gonna hold my breath because in many ways marjorie taylor greene, george santos, paul gosar, this group of people are central players for house republicans at this particular point in time. >> you know it's on lights like these with the centrist indictments, and in fact long before the centrist indictments, there was enough information about santos to take this kind of action but, it reminds me of what nancy pelosi did when anthony weiner was revealed to have been putting out pictures of himself that he should have out there. no violation of law by anthony weiner at the time, none. absolutely none. nancy pelosi personally kicked him out of the house of representatives. no ethics hearing, nothing. gave him 48 hours to get out. and she took it upon herself to bring him into that room, as you know what it's like with her, and order him out. kevin mccarthy clearly does not have that kind of strength. >> speaker pelosi is a strong and as serious and as intellectually powerful as it gets with a core sense of right and wrong. that certainly was the case in that episode and continue
