Gosar has been at the center of the national controversy, which has also been very personal for his siblings — six who had been vocal in urging voters not to re-elect him to Congress because of his fringe views. Now, some want him removed from office, and they criticize Democratic leadership for not acting more quickly.
Two of his estranged siblings told NBC News in interviews the congressman's conduct around the riot should be deeply probed and that he should face more serious consequences for his ongoing efforts to delegitimize the electoral results and the attack on the U.S. capitol.
"I consider him a traitor to this country. I consider him a traitor to his family," Dave Gosar, a Wyoming attorney, said. "He doesn't see it. He's disgraced and dishonored himself."...
"I was concerned before," Jennifer Gosar, a Seattle-based Spanish translator, said of the riot. "I was horrified during, and I'm shocked that he's not censured now, that there hasn't been a process for expulsion. I mean, I think all the elements are clear. And maybe there's something I'm missing, but they're not acting on it to really allay any fears of the public."
