He became member of the Bundestag after the 2017 German federal election.[2] He is a member of the Committee for Family, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth.[3] In August 2020, Pasemann was expelled from the AfD by the Landesschiedsgericht (arbitration tribunal) of the party branch in the state of Saxony-Anhalt. Pasemann was accused of antisemitism and other misdemeanors.[4]
