PHOENIX – Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., went on an hour-long Twitter rant once President Barack Obama landed in the state.
According to Rep. Gosar’s Twitter feed, a total of 14 twitter posts on the social networking site were critical of President Obama.
From green energy to border security, Rep. Gosar also claimed he was receiving numerous e-mails, calls and Facebook posts from Arizonans who were discontent with Obama’s “Gang of Eight” plan, a major overhaul of immigration reform.
We all benefit from a diverse energy grid. Yet, President #Obama's energy plan opposes coal, shale, oil, gas, nuclear, and hydro. #Arizona

President Obama comes to #Arizona & tells us to pass #Gangof8 plan. But I like many in #AZ will not be sold on promises of border security.

Record number 21 million young adults live with their parents. That's the #ObamaEconomy #Arizona
