GOP Congressman Paul Gosar goes off the deep end after being quarantined for coronavirus

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

We’ll say this for House Republican Paul Gosar: at least he was willing to quarantine himself after he learned that he’d potentially been exposed to the coronavirus. It’s the right thing to do. He’s trying to keep others from being infected. The trouble is, Paul Gosar is still Paul Gosar. He was a babbling idiot before he was quarantined, and now he’s… well, we’re not even sure what’s happening here.

After quarantining himself, Congressman Paul Gosar posted this incomprehensibly bizarre tweet:

Wait, what? We don’t even know what’s going on in that image. But after Paul Gosar announced that he has the “Wuhan Virus” instead of the coronavirus, in an racist attempt at blaming China for the whole thing, we’re left to wonder if this image is intended to convey some kind of xenophobic stereotype as well.

In any case, we wouldn’t wish coronavirus on anyone, so we hope all these Republicans in Congress end up not having it. And if they do have it, we hope they recover fully. The trouble is, they’re still the same ignorant idiots they always were, and unfortunately there’s no vaccine for that.
