Rep. Paul Gosar's brothers called the lawmaker's comments on the January 6 Capitol insurrection "despicable" in an interview with CNN on Thursday morning.
Tim and David Gosar appeared on CNN to apologize "on behalf of the actual sane members of our family."
"Once you lose your focus on the truth, once you become someone that peddles in lies, once you become basically a snake oil salesman, the truth is a really slippery thing to get your arms around," Tim Gosar said during the interview. "It's really hard to go back to the truth once you become a pathological liar like Paul has become."
Rep. Gosar said during a House hearing this week that Capitol rioter Ashli Babbitt was "executed" by a Capitol police officer who "appeared to be hiding, lying in wait and then gave no warning before killing her."
