Taking orders from their Washington party bosses, today Reps. Carlos Gimenez and Maria Elvira Salazar voted against holding Arizona Republican and white nationalist sympathizer Rep. Paul Gosar accountable for tweeting a heinous animated video showing him killing a sitting congresswoman.
If it were up to Carlos Gimenez and Maria Elvira Salazar, 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. Carlos Gimenez and Maria Elvira Salazar’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 Carlos Gimenez and Maria Elvira Salazar just proved today that they are no exception,” said DCCC Spokesperson Abel Iraola. “Voters should know that Carlos Gimenez and Maria Elvira Salazar are extremist sympathizers who believe it’s perfectly acceptable to make death threats towards congressional colleagues.”
