Maddow Paul Gosar Video

Does he have a known condition like Parkinson's Disease?

Maddow showed him speaking before a town hall crowd on another show. It was the same thing, like a puppet with someone pulling the strings. Don't know if he's suffering from some disease.

I even said his movements where very similar to Michael J. Fox. If it isn’t Parkinson’s, what is it?

I’m not in the long-distance diagnosis business, but there are several different things that could cause it.
