Now we’re going to check in with the Editorial Board of The Arizona Republic. It’s a regular segment where we talk about the big issues facing the state and the region—featured in the newspaper’s Viewpoints section.

Arizona’s 4th District Congressman, Republican Paul Gosar, has been in the headlines lately for some negative aspects. But unlike some of his colleagues, criticism of Gosar hasn’t been related to inappropriate personal behavior.

It’s been focused on his tendency to take statistics out of context or accuse certain political opponents of treason.

In a recent editorial, The Arizona Republic took Gosar to task for his approach to politics. And the paper’s Editorial Director Phil Boas joins me for his weekly appearance to talk about it.
