Ethics 

RESOLUTION 

Censuring Paul Gosar, Representative of the 9th 

Congressional District of Arizona. 

Whereas, on July 23, 2023, Representative Paul Gosar used 

official House of Representatives resources to communicate with his constituents in the form of a weekly newsletter to promote a fringe website that— 

(1) refers to the Holocaust as ‘‘the Holohoax’’ 

throughout their site; 

(2) encourages those who visit the site to ‘‘stand up 

for Hitler’’ multiple times; 

(3) posts and promotes several antisemitic statements and conspiracy theories; and 

(4) promotes baseless and dangerous conspiracy 

theories and rhetoric ranging from Holocaust denial, deVerDate Sep 11 2014 02:15 Jul 28, 2023 Jkt 039200 PO 00000 Frm 00001 Fmt 6652 Sfmt 6300 E:\BILLS\HR623.IH HR623

fending Adolf Hitler, vaccine hesitancy, attacking the 

‘‘deep state’’ including our Nation’s civil servants, and 

promoting antisemitism and racism; 

Whereas, in the days leading up to Representative Gosar 

mentioning this site in his newsletter, there were no 

fewer than four posts on the site promoting extreme and 

antisemitic positions, including— 

(1) a post dated July 22, 2023, stated: ‘‘David Cole, 

a Jew, explores Auschwitz and debunks the claims that 

it was an industrial death camp—still on YouTube for 

now but as more countries outlaw questioning the ‘holocaust,’ it is uploaded here in case it is removed to censor 

inconvenient evidence’’; 

(2) a post dated July 21, 2023, stated: ‘‘Making 

Adolf Hitler into a Jewish-controlled agent is quite a brilliant plot by International Jewry to divert newcomers 

away from learning the true history and background of 

National Socialism (Slavery). Don’t be fooled! . . . Stand 

up for Hitler and National Socialism (Slavery)!!’’; 

(3) a post dated July 20, 2023, links to and mentions a post from another known antisemitic site: ‘‘Untrue stories exist at each end of Jewish history’s three 

thousand years—fictional, fabricated and of immense 

magnitude . . . Towards the end of the 20th century as 

belief in the origin stories was fading away, the Holohoax 

morphed into a fearsome modern religion, in which belief 

is compulsory’’; and 

(4) a post dated July 17, 2023, stated: ‘‘the Kalergi 

Plan consists of the genocide of white people through 

miscegenation and mass immigration of non-whites to 

Europe. . . . Hitler was aware of Kalergi’s plan and did 

everything in his power to prevent it. Like Gobineau, Hitler considered the Aryan race to be the noblest, the best

armed for the struggle for existence, the most beautiful, 

the most energetic, and the one with the greatest amount 

of creative genius. What this race lost by mixing it was 

not compensated by what the others gained by ennoblement’’; 

Whereas Representative Gosar promoted the site as a part of 

his newsletter’s ‘‘Gosar in the News and Other Must 

Read Stories’’ on July 23, 2023, in addition to two other 

references on April 7, 2023, and August 7, 2022; 

Whereas, in April 2023, the day before Holocaust Remembrance Day, Representative Gosar promoted an 

antisemitic website that featured posts denying the Holocaust, praising Adolf Hitler as ‘‘a man of valor,’’ and 

spreading common antisemitic tropes, in response to said 

website publishing an article titled ‘‘Congressman Gosar: 

Jewish warmongers Nuland & Blinken ‘Are Dangerous 

Fools Who Can Get Us All Killed,’ but Representative 

Gosar removed ‘Jewish’ ’’ from the title of the article 

prior to sharing it on social media, indicating a recognition that the title of the article was antisemitic; 

Whereas Representative Gosar shared a tweet in October 

2022 that read, ‘‘Pray for Kanye West. They will throw 

everything they have at him simply for speaking the 

truth’’ in response to Mr. West sharing Nazi imagery, including a swastika, threatening violence against Jewish 

people, and engaging in hateful stereotypes regarding 

Jewish people; 

Whereas Representative Gosar has on several occasions publicly supported and appeared alongside self-described 

White nationalists, including Holocaust denier Nick 

Fuentes, at public conferences and events;

Whereas Representative Gosar has routinely sought out support, advice, and assistance from, and provided employment and the corresponding gains and benefits therein 

to, individuals and groups with alleged ties to antisemitic, 

neo-Nazi, and other extremist groups; 

Whereas Representative Gosar frequently engaged in these 

activities using resources, including funds, technology, 

and personnel, provided by the House of Representatives 

at taxpayer expense; 

Whereas Representative Gosar has demonstrated a clear pattern of engaging in antisemitism and extremism and has 

not demonstrated any remorse or indicated any willingness to change the course of his actions; 

Whereas Representative Gosar’s activities promote hate when 

antisemitic incidents are at an all-time high in the United 

States, with the Anti-Defamation League’s Audit of 

Antisemitic Incidents finding that the year 2022 had the 

highest number on record since beginning to track in 

1979; 

Whereas the right to free speech, which all Representatives 

are committed to defending, does not provide a justification for a Representative to use his or her platform to 

contribute to the spread of hate; 

Whereas the leadership of the Republican Party has failed to 

hold Representative Gosar to account while claiming to 

support the Jewish-American community and counter 

antisemitism; 

Whereas Representative Gosar’s actions tarnish the honor of 

the House of Representatives and must not be tolerated; 

and
