Paul Gosar's January 6 Tweet Resurfaces After Report He Offered Pardons to Rally Planners

A tweet issued by Representative Paul Gosar on January 6 has resurfaced following a report that the Republican offered pardons to those planning the protests in Washington, D.C.

The post, which encouraged Joe Biden to step back from his electoral victory, included a photo of the large crowd assembled at the Stop the Steal rally earlier that day.

"Biden should concede," Gosar wrote. "I want his concession on my desk tomorrow morning. Don't make me come over there."

Social media users re-upped the tweet in light of the Rolling Stone article published Sunday in which two pro-Trump rally organizers said they met with Gosar and other GOP lawmakers in the weeks leading up to the Capitol attack.

But I see that "Prison Train" coming in the far distance headed to Washington DC to pick up everybody
involved in trying to overthrow our Government. Hope he's got plenty of cars, we'll need 'em.

What??? "Don't make me come over there"? Who the hell does he think he is? Sounds rather delusional to me, maybe a bit insane.

But Republicans think that's good enough to be handed victory. I guess the 81 million Americans who voted for Biden/Harris should just sit down and shut the fuck up. At least, that's what I've heard we should do.

...considering it was many months old.

All I did was tell Gosar that if he hated American democracy so much he should move to a country that doesn't have it.

Are some in Congress trying to normalize and downplay the Jan 6 attack in an effort to keep themselves out of prison?
