Not only did "loony tunes" AZ GOP Congressman Paul Gosar deliberately tweet out a photoshopped pic of Obama meeting with Iranian leader Hassan Rouhani, but he actually attacked people who called him out. If you need a primer on Gosar, he's the moron who is so bizarre that 6 of his own siblings actively campaigned against his reelection...
Not sure if Gosar was just intent on inflaming his uneducated base, or if he actually thought he could pull a fast one and no one would call out his phony pic? To call it amateurish is putting it mildly- no one with any semblance of a brain could possibly be fooled.
But the sad reality is that Gosar likely knows his base and has determined that facts and reality are alien concepts to many of them. In fact, I'm sure that's what he is counting on. The goal is to get them to circulate the phony pic, similar to the widely circulated photo of an SS Guard which some people to this day still believe is George Soros. Herr Goebbels would be so proud...
