Paul Gosar’s painstaking Epstein Twitter thread

Rep. Paul Gosar

What was the most entertaining part of the first day of Donald Trump’s impeachment hearings? Was it George Kent’s twee but tragic bowtie? Ambassador Taylor’s podcast-worthy tone? Adam Schiff claiming he didn’t know who the whistleblower was?

Frankly, there weren’t too many moments to choose from. Which is perhaps why Rep. Paul Gosar of Arizona decided to make his own fun. Read the first letter of each of his tweets from the proceedings…

Cockburn is impressed by the 60-year-old Arizona congressman’s internet literacy. It’s not all that surprising that Gosar is enamored with the ‘Epstein didn’t kill himself’ meme. He’s got a track record of enjoying conspiracy theories, like when he suggested Charlottesville happened because of George Soros. At least this is one we can all enjoy. Except Ghislaine Maxwell, that is.
