GOP congressman’s brothers call him ‘pathological liar’ for ‘despicable’ Capitol riot comments

A Republican congressman’s brothers have branded him a “pathological liar” over his “despicable” comments about the Capitol insurrection.

GOP lawmaker Paul Gosar claimed earlier this week that a Capitol police officer was “lying in wait” to “execute” rioter Ashli Babbitt during the 6 January violence in Washington DC.

Ms Babbit, an Air Force veteran, was killed by law enforcement after she stormed the US Capitol to try and prevent the certification of Joe Biden’s victory over Donald Trump.
