Paul Gosar swaying during oversight hearing sparks health concerns

The Arizona Republican representative spoke Tuesday morning during the House Oversight Committee's first hearing on border security.

— Tigernan Thorn, Furious Irish 🏳️‍🌈 Gosar has denied rumors about his health over the years, claiming in 2015 to be"as healthy as a horse." AZCentral at the time reported that he had"for months tried to mask spasms in his left hand by tucking his hands in his pockets, under tables or clutching them behind his back."

Gosar further claimed that issues stemming from arthritis and two compressed vertebrae in his neck and lower back had contributed to the hand issue. He was also dealing with complications from a hip replacement surgery. "Not gonna get rid of me that easily," he added at the time, in response to speculation that health issues would prevent him from seeking reelection in 2016.
