A very disturbed Paul Gosar said during an interview this week that the Durham Report somehow relates to the jailed Capitol Rioters and that those people should be "turned loose." Gosar is absolutely deranged, and it is still a complete shock that someone like him is even in Congress to begin with, but his claims about the Capitol Rioters aren't embedded in reality at all, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains. …

Paul Gosar is in headlines quite a bit, but still the man doesn't quite get the attention he deserves for being such a despicable and disgusting human being. Right? Most of the media's attention gets focused on people like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Bobert. Occasionally you get a Matt Gaetz in there, or Jim Jordan, especially recently. But Gosar Gosar, in my opinion, is actually worse than every single one of them. Even the recent stories about Gosar having basically a white nationalist on his staff didn't get the traction that it needs. And then this past week, another Gosar story came out that once again was a tiny blip on the radar before completely disappearing. And that is, of course, Gosar saying that all of the January 6th people that have been prosecuted and convicted should be turned loose. Just let 'em out. Let 'em all go, because apparently in Gosar R's mind what these people did. Totally, totally not a, uh, not bad, not bad at all. Let me read what he said. This is what he said to, uh, right wing radio host John Fredericks. He said, quote, Democrats said that January 6th was an affront to democracy. Well, if that's the case, it wasn't affront to the people and the people should be turned loose. We should take those tapes, allow the American public to see them turn people in who were undercover. And that's how you start breaking the back of this bureaucracy and hold people accountable. This is the first start of defunding some of these processes. They're anti-American. They are anti justice. And so I think this is the perfect storm. Storm. This is a little bit of language used by, uh, white nationalists quite frequently. By the way, here's the thing. Gosar, everything you have just said is completely wrong except for one, release the tapes. I agree. Release the tapes. Let's release those tapes, because you know what, 67% of the people who participated in that day did not get charged at all. According to the United States attorney for the District of Columbia, 67%. You could have charged each and every one of those people that you will see on those tapes if they are eventually released. Every one of them committed a crime. The crime was being on that property that is trespassing on federal property, and that is something that can land you a couple, you know, month or two in jail, or hundreds of dollars, possibly thousands in fines. But they decided not to do that. They just, they decided not to be completely petty. Technically, you could have charged each and every one of them with, uh, uh, obstructing and interfering with an act of Congress, which is a felony could have put you away for a couple years. Thousands of people could be locked away right now, but they are not. But if you wanna release the tapes and let these People's faces who may have gone under the radar, people whose family doesn't know they were there, their employers don't know that they were there that day. You wanna release the tapes and let everybody see who all was there, and then watch what happens to those people, the ramifications they suffer in their personal lives. I'm not gonna stop you from doing that because I think those people who didn't face accountability do need to face some kind of accountability, whether it's at home, whether it's with their jobs, whether it's with their friends.
