Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.), who has a history of associating with white nationalists and Holocaust deniers, is facing criticism for a link in his April 16 newsletter to a publication called Veterans Today. Despite its benign name, the publication has published antisemitic content and Holocaust denial.

The text in the newsletter was different from that on the publication website. The former referred to “warmongers,” while the publication referenced “Jewish warmongers.”

A Russian propaganda website with government ties also published the article.

Anthony Foti, Gosar’s spokesman, did not respond to a query from JNS.

In the past, the congressman tweeted a video linked to antisemite Nick Fuentes. Gosar has also said that he was unaware of Fuentes’s hateful comments.

“When we are strengthening and reinforcing each other, there’s nothing we can’t accomplish and overcome,” Rabbi Mendy Dubrowski, an emissary in Tampa, Fla., told JNS.
“We are deeply saddened by the horrific shooting,” said Israel’s Foreign Ministry.
The promotion of one of the president’s most partisan and hard-nosed lieutenants to one of the most powerful jobs in Washington may signal how Trump intends to respond to his party’s defeat in the midterms.
“If you don’t like our small business owners, wait till you meet our lawyers,” said Mark Goldfeder of the National Jewish Advocacy Center.
