Gosar, Paul, 1958-
Variant namesPaul Anthony Gosar (born November 27, 1958) is an American politician and former dentist who has served as the U.S. representative for Arizona's 4th congressional district since 2013. A Republican, he was elected in 2010 to represent the neighboring 1st congressional district until redistricting. Gosar's support of conspiracy theories and alleged ties to the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers have sparked controversy.
Gosar opposes the Affordable Care Act, abortion, gun control, and immigration. He has been a strong ally of former president Donald Trump, and voted to overturn the results of the 2020 U.S. presidential election.
On November 17, 2021, Gosar was censured by the House of Representatives and stripped of committee assignments for posting an edited clip of Attack on Titan depicting him killing a titan with Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's face and attacking a character with President Joe Biden's face on social media. It was the first House censure since 2010 and the 24th in American history.
