Your defense of Gosar is admirable and not without positive effect, but if he really tweeted that he was just being sarcastic then he was certainly having a brain fart even joking about such a thing as a presidential coup. He needs to delete these tweets and just shut up if he really doesn’t think there was a coup attempt.
He might have a poor sense of humor, but our district here is one of, if not THE most Conservative district in the US. He is fully aware of the attempted coup and has said so many times. And if he said he was being sarcastic, it was not because he doesn’t believe it, he was being sarcastic in another way with his post. How someone knee jerked to the opposite assumption I have no clue. They obviously do not know him as we do. He is like our local Trump and will not bend.
