An Arizona congressman is set to appear on a talk show hosted by conspiracy theorists on a digital network responsible for driving the anti-Semitic QAnon movement less than a month after he appeared at a conference also attended by a prominent white nationalist.
Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) is set to appear on “Digging Deeper,” a talk show hosted on the digital Patriots’ Soapbox channel, the Arizona Mirror first reported on Thursday. A promotional image released by the show announced Gosar’s appearance.
The show’s host, a woman who broadcasts under the name “Radix Verum,” has expressed the belief that FBI officials and “contractors” were active during the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, in which dozens of Capitol Police officers were injured and one was killed. Four others also died during the riot.
The broader network, Patriots’ Soapbox, has promoted stories related to the QAnon movement for years. One expert on the conspiracy theory described the channel as “a dedicated 24-7 livestream into the QAnon worldview” in an interview with The Daily Beast last year.
The channel has hosted prominent right-wingers linked to conspiracy theories in the past, including now-Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) during her successful primary challenge against former Rep. Scott Tipton (R-Colo.). It has also hosted Nicholas Fuentes, a major figure on the far-right white nationalist scene who previously hosted a conference at which Gosar appeared earlier this year.
