Republican Representative Paul Gosar of Arizona, who regularly ranks down there with Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert as a MAGA extremist, has really been on a tear lately

On February 25, he supplied video remarks to the America First Political Action Conference, a group closely linked to white supremacists and led by January 6 Capitol-riot enthusiast and Holocaust-denier Nick Fuentes. Maybe Greene, who appeared live at the conference, was ignorant about the group’s unsavory ties, as she claimed, but Gosar sure wasn’t — he keynoted the same event last year.
As aficionados of right-wing extremism know, attacking fluoridation as a communist plot was a hardy perennial of John Birch Society members and their fellow travelers dating back to the introduction of fluoridated water in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in 1945. The mania over fluoride was most famously depicted and parodied in the movie Dr.
Without following Gosar down a rabbit hole, let’s just say that negative claims about fluoride have been circulating for many decades and have been definitively slapped down by medical and scientific experts, as science writer Jesse Hicks explained over a decade ago: Ah, but that was back when even hard-core conservatives regarded organizations like the CDC as authoritative and “experts” as, well, experts. Now, they tend to view the medical and scientific Establishment as proto-tyrants determined to rob Americans of their priceless birthright of freedom. So it’s not surprising to find an all-purpose extremist like Gosar leaping into the anti-fluoridation camp.
