(32,456 posts)U.S. Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., has 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, fueling speculation he was fighting a health issue that could force his retirement.
The three-term congressman in an exclusive interview with The Arizona Republic vowed the condition wont keep him from serving or running for re-election in 2016.
Gosar, 56, said arthritis and two compressed vertebrae in his neck and lower back have caused nerve issues in his hand. The condition will require back surgery, which he hasnt scheduled. In addition, he is dealing with complications from a hip replacement last summer.
Im as healthy as a horse, he told The Republic earlier this month.

(15,100 posts)Don't need to amplify his voice with clicks. He does seem ill in other videos. Wish his constituents would retire him.
Thanks for sharing anyway.

(20,577 posts)He has trouble verbalizing as well. He could also be on anti-psychotic medicine which can cause uncontrolled muscle movements. No matter what - there is something terribly wrong with him.
