HRES 623 United States House · 118th Congress

Censuring Paul Gosar, Representative of the 9th Congressional District of Arizona.

HRES 623 is a resolution to formally censure Representative Paul Gosar (AZ-9) for promoting a website containing Holocaust denial, pro-Nazi rhetoric, and antisemitic conspiracy theories through his official congressional newsletter. The resolution cites specific instances where Gosar shared content from the site - including posts calling the Holocaust a "Holohoax" and urging people to "stand up for Hitler" - on multiple occasions, including days before Holocaust Remembrance Day. If passed, the resolution would require Gosar to appear in the House chamber for the censure to be read aloud by the Speaker. This is a procedural action by the House, not a law, and would formally condemn Gosar's use of congressional resources to amplify extremist content.
