Taking orders from her Washington party bosses, today Rep. Ann Wagner (MO-02) voted against holding Arizona Republican and white nationalist sympathizer Rep. Paul Gosar accountable for tweeting an animated video showing him killing a sitting congresswoman.
If it were up to Ann Wagner, Gosar — who has planned fundraisers with prominent white nationalist leader Nick Fuentes and promoted “Anglo-Saxon” ideas alongside Marjorie Taylor Greene — would have been let off the hook for threatening to kill a colleague. Wagner’s cowardly vote today underscores who really runs the House Republican Conference: unhinged extremists like Gosar and Greene, who face nothing but shrugs from Republican leadership in response to their violent rhetoric.
“The House GOP’s values are in the gutter — and Ann Wagner just proved today that she is no exception,” said DCCC spokesperson Monica Robinson. “Voters should know that Ann Wagner is an extremist sympathizer who believes it’s perfectly acceptable to make death threats towards her colleagues in Congress.”
