Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) may have an awkward Thanksgiving dinner this year. Six of his siblings have endorsed David Brill, a Democrat who hopes to unseat the four-term Republican in a deep-red district that voted for President Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton by 39 percentage points in 2016.

“None of us are doing this for publicity. None of us even want to do it,” David Gosar, one of the Congressman’s brothers, said in an interview with the Phoenix New Times. “He just doesn’t appear to be well.”

Gosar, who was reelected with 71 percent of the vote in 2016, hold various hardline positions on the environment, healthcare and immigration, which clash with members of his family.

“It would be difficult to see my brother as anything but a racist,” said Grace Gosar, another sibling.

“We gotta stand up for our good name,” David Gosar added. “This is not who we are.”

Rep. Gosar made headlines in October 2017 when he suggested in an interview with VICE News that Unite The Right rally in Charlottesville that left one person dead was coordinated by the left before going on to call George Soros a Nazi collaborator.

Brill, a 65-year-old doctor and first-time candidate, called the controversial Congressman one of his campaign’s “best assets” because “he’s so principled and extreme that he droves centrists, more common-sense folks — be they independent of Republican — over in our direction.”
