Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) spoke exclusively to National File while attending a spontaneous pro-Trump protest at the State Capitol in Phoenix Arizona, demanding that all votes be counted in a fair and honest manner.
Beginning at around 6 p.m. PT, around 1,000 pro-Trump protesters wearing Make America Great Again hats and carrying Trump 2020 signs descended on the Capitol in Arizona, demanding their votes be counted in a fair and honest manner. Local media soon arrived and were met by hundreds of Trump voters who turned out to express their anger as they shouted “We love Trump” and “Four more years.”

By 8 p.m., U.S. Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) arrived at the protest to show his support for the president and the protesters’ message. He was captured on video by local media marching with protesters, apparently to the Maricopa County Elections Department, where they demanded the Maricopa County Recorder come outside and explain what is happening.
Speaking exclusively to National File while still attending the protest, Gosar said “We demand all of our votes be counted. We will not allow Biden and his thugs to steal this election. God is on our side.”

Gosar posted several videos of the protest to social media, often agreeing with the points made by the speakers.
“‘We want Trump,'” wrote Gosar. “A thousand patriots seek justice. 65 million more across the country. Don’t let them steal our votes.”

Arizona was originally called for Joe Biden by Fox News’ Decision Desk, run by long time Democrat operative Arnon Mishkin, who has worked as a political consultant for prominent Democrats from New York to Los Angeles. While all major networks would soon agree with Mishkin’s decision, ABC News recently retracted its claim that Arizona would be won by Biden.
A video showing an Arizona woman explain how she was given a sharpie marker to fill out her ballot, despite this clearly invalidating the ballot’s legitimacy, recently went viral on social media.
