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.

And what's with this pardon shit?
Members of Congress can't issue pardons.

(47,427 posts)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.

(82,849 posts)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.

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.
