Gosar Mother Sides with the Congressman

Reached at her home in Wyoming, Bernadette Gosar, the 85-year-old mother of Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) and his six siblings who appeared in a brutal ad supporting the Democratic challenger to their brother, said that she was unaware of the video until she was contacted by the New York Times.

Once they were described to her in detail, she said she was “shocked” and “crushed.”

She said she had a “wonderful family” but that the Gosar children in the ad did not relate politically to Paul Gosar or herself: “I share the same philosophy and policies that Paul does. He’s done a hell of a job for Arizona, and they love him.”
