The siblings of Republican Paul Gosar just featured in a brutal advertisement endorsing his Democratic competitor.
Gosar currently serves as a member of the United States House of Representatives from Arizona, since 2011.
Over the course of his political life, he voted to prevent same-sex marriage. In 2014, he also voted to keep same-sex marriage within state jurisdictions.
He also strongly opposes abortion.
And now six of his nine siblings are throwing their support behind his opponent, David Brill.

In a series of new campaign videos, one starts with his sister Grace stating: ‘Paul Gosar, the congressman, isn’t doing anything to help rural America.’
Later in the video, his brother Tim says: ‘He’s not listening to you and he doesn’t have your best interests at heart.’
Then each sibling introduce themselves with their last names – Tim, David, Grace, Joan, Gaston and Jennifer.
They all then ‘wholeheartedly’ endorse Dr David Brill.
Brill appears at the end of the video with his wife to say: ‘I’m Dr David Brill and I approve this message.’
Paul Gosar is the eldest child in the family and has a hardline view on immigration. He’s considered one of President Donald Trump’s most loyal defenders.
He remains estranged from several of his siblings.
Grace Gosar also says in another video: ‘It would be difficult to see my brother as anything but a racist.’
