Three days later, on September 18, 2025, Gosar commented on public safety in Washington D.C., stating: “Failed leadership, soft-on-crime policies, and rampant corruption has left D.C. more dangerous than war-torn Baghdad.”
Later that same day, he referenced ongoing political disputes over government funding with a brief statement: “Queue the Schumer Shutdown.”
