Now there’s some land in Arizona north of Phoenix, north and west
A wilderness, not many people, known as Congress District two
It’s been six times , now, they have voted for the man they think is best
To represent them, their beliefs, what they want government to do
Their Rep, a former dentist, named Paul Gosar, history made
The man was formally rebuked, was censured by the House
All Democrats plus two Republicans who weren’t afraid
To join in condemnation of what Gosar was about
A video he’d tweeted, one cartooning him in action
Murdering Rep A.O.L. and threatening the President
Much disapproval in the Press; but kudos from his faction
QAnon, the racist right; he is their man in residence
So where were House Republicans, their leader, K. McCarthy?
Did they condone Gosar’s behavior when they voted nay?
They voted nay in fear of Trump who still controls the Party
The G.O.P. side of the House has lost its moral way
They want to punish their own Reps for voting for a bill
Bipartisan for infrastructure: bridges, roads, railways
All while condoning Paul Gosar, his act of virtual kill
I wonder – Paul’s constituents: will they still vote his way?

Who we elect is an (unfortunate in this case) reflection of who we are.
So sad.
