David Brill's campaign ad against incumbent congressman Paul Gosar begins as pretty standard political fare. "Paul Gosar, the congressman, isn't doing anything to help rural America," says "rural physician" Grace. "If he actually cared about people in rural Arizona, I bet he'd be fighting for social security, for better access to healthcare," adds Jennifer, "medical interpreter." Not terribly interesting stuff to anyone who’s not from Arizona’s 4th congressional district, until the reveal—all the people disparaging the Republican congressman's record are his siblings.

Though familial political divides are nothing new in the Trump era, Gosar's family felt impelled to back his Democratic challenger, Dr. David Brill, because of their brother's far-right views. In the wake of last year’s white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, Representative Gosar made headlines when he implied that the event was orchestrated by "an Obama sympathizer" and that Hungarian-American billionaire George Soros "turned in his own people to the Nazis."

In another ad, Grace Gosar says, "It would be difficult to see my brother as anything but a racist."

The Gosar siblings told the Phoenix New Times that they had speak out against their brother’s hardline conservative policies, particularly his views on immigrantion and opposition to DACA. "None of us are doing this for publicity,” said his brother, Wyoming attorney David Gosar. "None of us even want to do it."

It’s not the first time that families of Trump-supporting right wing political figures have spoken out. The uncle of White House advisor Stephen Miller wrote an essay for Politico condemning his nephew’s beliefs, while Laura Ingraham’s brother frequently criticizes the Fox News host on Twitter, and recently told The Daily Beast that he thinks his younger sister is a “monster."
