Democrats Seek Censure for GOP Lawmaker’s Tweet Depicting AOC Attack

A group of House Democrats introduced a censure resolution Friday against Representative Paul Gosar for the Arizona Republican’s posting of an altered animated video that depicted him attacking President Joe Biden and New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

“For a Member of Congress to post a manipulated video on his social media accounts depicting himself killing Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and attacking President Biden is a clear cut case for censure,” the lawmakers said in a statement. “For that Member to post such a video on his official Instagram account and use his official congressional resources in the House of Representatives to further violence against elected officials goes beyond the pale.”
