Paul Gosar Staffer Linked to Neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes, New Report Shows
Republican Representative Paul Gosar of Arizona has had a history of antisemitic and racist tendencies, and his staffer has reportedly been linked to infamous Neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes.
Several staffers to the Arizona representative have left digital footprints that have linked them to antisemitic activities, and the congressman's digital director, Wade Searle, is one of them.
According to a report by Talking Points Memo (TPM), Searle has pledged his allegiance to Fuentes and has been one of the most prolific supporters of the well-known white supremacist.
In his streaming channel, Fuentes called on his followers to pledge "undying" allegiance to the "white race, my nation America, and my savior Jesus Christ, and my loyalty to the America First movement, Nicholas J. Fuentes."
Fuentes was reportedly sitting in front of a digital studio backdrop with Russia's flag bearing the "Z" insignia used by supporters of Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine in the corner of his screen.
The TPM reported that one account belonging to Gosar's staff member reportedly did so, with Searle even donating $150 to the white supremacist's cause. The report said when he pledged his allegiance to Fuentes on May 2022, he was already working in Gosar's office at Capitol Hill.
The lawmaker's digital director reportedly left an "extensive digital trail of interconnected Groyper social media pages" and is known on far-right movements using ChickenRight" and "Chikken" handles.
Gosar has been described as one of the most far-right-leaning members of the House of Representatives and one of the most controversial.
He is allied with other far-right and Pro-Trump House Freedom Caucus Republicans such as Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, and Matt Gaetz.
His office has denied requests for a statement on his staffer's Neo-Nazi connections. Last year, Gosar appeared in an event hosted by Fuentes and was the keynote speaker at the time.

Anti-Defamation League Calls For Investigation Into Paul Gosar Staffer
The Anti-Defamation League, a Jewish civil rights non-profit that usually takes on antisemitism, is going after Paul Gosar again.
However, this time, the ADL has asked for a "full investigation" into the office of the Arizona representative for employing a "prominent Groyper" with direct links to Neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes.
The ADL noted that the TPM report revealed that the far-right neo-fascist "Groyper Army" is connected to Gosar's office and found it disturbing that a politician with a history of antisemitic views would have a digital director with links to a known Neo-Nazi.
"This needs a full investigation. Hate and extremism have no place in government- at any level," wrote the ADL in a statement released on social media.
Paul Gosar Previously Promoted an Antisemitic Website
Paul Gosar has had a history of being linked to antisemitic and white nationalist movements. Last month, the GOP congressman promoted a website denying the Holocaust and praised Adolf Hitler as "a man of valor."
In his weekly newsletter to his constituents back in Arizona, he linked several stories from that antisemitic website that had previously admitted to writing false articles.
The headlines that the congressman linked in his newsletter read, "Congressman: Jewish warmongers Nuland & Blinken 'Are Dangers Fools Who Can Get Us All Killed."
The Arizona Mirror reviewed that website and found that it was not just antisemitic but also pro-Kremlin as it ran and republished stories from Russian state-run propaganda websites Russia Today and Sputnik, including the linked article that Gosar shared.
However, a spokesperson for Paul Gosar said that the congressman uses a "third-party aggregating service" for headlines.
