Is blood really thicker than water?

You would imagine that your family would always have your back but that's not the case for Arizona Republican Rep. Paul Gosar. Gosar's Democrat opponent, David Brill, recently launched a TV campaign that featured six of Gosar's siblings urging people NOT to vote for their brother.

Gosar has responded to the now-viral ads, saying that the six of his nine siblings who decided to film ads against him are "liberal Democrats who hate President Trump."

You can't pick your family. We all have crazy aunts and relatives etc and my family is no different. I hope they find peace in their hearts and let go all the hate

One of his siblings said her decision to film the ads was because her brother's political rhetoric has gone from conservative to a "place of hate and divisiveness" in the past year and a half.

I think it's safe to say that win or lose, holidays at the Gosar house will be very awkward this year.
