“We did a meeting a couple of years ago where our elected representative from Washington Paul Gosar came out and we asked him flat out at that time, ‘Do you think we’re heading into a civil war?'” Arroyo said in the video, which is titled “The Coming Civil War? Part 1” and was posted on November 22, 2020. “And his response to the group was just flat out, ‘We’re in it. We just haven’t started shooting at each other yet’.” Phoenix New Times was unable to reach Arroyo for comment. Gosar, a Republican and diehard supporter of former President Donald Trump, who represents Arizona’s 4th Congressional District, did not return New Times’ multiple requests for comment. But other clues of a relationship with the group have surfaced. An image of Gosar standing near a person wearing Oath Keepers clothing emerged last summer. Also, one of Gosar’s brothers, Dave Gosar, recently told the New York Times , (which first reported on Arroyo’s video), that the congressman is closely affiliated with the Oath Keepers. 1
