All 4 of the Arizona Republicans in the House are bad: Shweikert is corrupt; Lesko, Biggs and Gosar objected to AZ's results.

Much worse than Shweikert and Lesko are Biggs and Gosar; Ali Alexander claimed that he, Biggs, Mo Brooks and Gosar planned what would become January 6. So in other words, 2 of AZ's House GOP members conspired an attack of the capitol in an attempt to overturn the results of a democratic election. Even in this category, I'd call Gosar marginally worse, because he's generally a bad egg -
1. He tweeted a photoshopped image of Obama meeting with Iran's president (they pased the face of Iran's president onto the face of India's prime minister; in reality, Obama was meeting Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh).
2. Six of his nine siblings endorsed his opponent in his runs for congress; three of them called for his expulsion from congress.
3. The Arizona Republic called him Congress' most controversial member. (This is a pre-MTG article.)
4. Gosar was in attendance at the America First Political Action Conference, a white nationalist conference whose organizer publicly supported the January 6 attack.

Paul Gosar. All of Arizona's Republicans are horrible and far to the right of the state, but Gosar, as you note, is in a category of his own. The dichotomy between Arizona's Republican Senators and Representatives has been jarring.

AZ's GOP Reps represented generally deep-red ultra-RW districts, while AZ GOP senators have to consider the entire state. AZ reps who represented moderate swing districts (such as Jim Kolbe and Martha McSally[when she was a US Rep] ) were generally much more bipartisan figures than, say, people like Gosar.

That's true, but doesn't explain why Gosar would do something like plan what would become January 6:

The kinds of voters likeliest to turn out in an AZ GOP primary are well to the right of the state overall and clearly to the right of even the AZ GOP voter base, and I imagine this would only be exacaberated in a district like Gosar's, which was the only district in the state Trump won with more than 60%, and where Biden won barely 30% of the vote.
