Many Republicans allegedly say privately that Paul Gosar is 'not all there' and 'he's lost it,'

Jonathan Karl stopped by Anderson Cooper 360 on Wednesday, where the ABC News chief Washington correspondent broke down some details he learned while writing his new book, Betrayal: The Final Act of the Trump Show, which chronicles Trump’s final days in the White House, and beyond.

That includes what he has heard about Arizona Republican congressman Paul Gosar, who was censured and stripped of his committee assignments by the U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday, after he posted a video depicting an animated version of himself attacking Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and President Joe Biden. A censure is the most severe form of punishment in the House, short of expulsion.

When Cooper asked Karl if Republicans have privately expressed embarrassment, shame and concern to him about the future of the party, Karl said, “Oh, yes.”

He expanded on that in reference to Gosar, after multiple Republicans stood up for him on Wednesday. But Karl said it’s a different story behind closed doors.

I don't take any joy or comfort in hearing what they say in private - or 'off the record.' That does NO GOOD for anybody!

DO YOUR DAMNED JOB FOR THE COUNTRY, not your crooked, thieving party!

The only one with the courage to openly state that the emperor had no clothes on was a little boy in the crowd, where all the coward adults pretended to admire clothes none of them could see.
