“The House of Representatives voted to censure hardline Republican Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., and remove him from his two committee assignments… The formal rebuke came after Gosar posted an anime style video on Twitter last week that depicts him murdering Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y, and attacking President Biden. The video, which he deleted after intense blowback, shows [a] character with Gosar's image wielding a sword to kill a character with the image of Ocasio-Cortez.” (NPR)
The right is critical of the censure, arguing that the video was not a true threat of violence.
The left supports the censure, arguing that the threat of political violence is a serious problem.
