Democrats want to censure rep Gosar for stupid anime video.

This takes the cake, after two years of democrats encouraging people to harass republican politicians in public, they are now upset at a stupid Anime video depicting (supposedly) Rep Gosar attacking AOC.

House set to punish Gosar for violent video depicting killing of Ocasio-Cortez

“We have to address it immediately," Speaker Nancy Pelosi said. "It’s outrageous on the part of the Republican leadership not to act upon this.”

The House is set to censure Rep. Paul Gosar and boot him from his committees Wednesday over a violent social media post, representing a rare rebuke of a colleague that Speaker Nancy Pelosi deemed an "emergency."
Censures are uncommon in the House, with the last formal admonishment of a member in this manner occurring more than a decade ago. But Pelosi and Democratic leaders moved quickly toward the punishment after Gosar posted an anime video last week that depicted him killing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and attacking President Joe Biden.


“Violence against women, workplace harassment, legal matters in terms of threatening a member and threatening the president of the United States,” Pelosi said. “We have to address it immediately … it’s outrageous on the part of the Republican leadership not to act upon this.”

Here is the video:

Yeah, the little "It's NOT about ME" Princess is attempting to make a cogent speech.

I like the music. Very epic sounding.

Upon watching it, I agree with censuring him. Depicting killing of a political opponent in the context of war is especially irresponsible given how high tensions are right now. This isn't like when Norman Geisler accused JP Holding and Nick of supporting violence when they did that video where someone throws a snowball at him.

I can't even see where he is supposedly killing AOC. It's a really badly done video and pretty hard to follow what it is supposed to be. Apparently it's from "Attack on Titan" with people's faces superimposed on anime characters. But I see nothing worth making a stink over. It's just another case of Democrats being drama queens and making a mountain out of a molehill in order to grab more power.

Weren't people here calling for Kathy Griffin to be investigated by the Secret Service and arrested when she had a picture of holding up Trump's head? What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

This is the original video apparently (before someone changed it to put Gosar's and AOC into it)

Here is the video:

Wait? That's the video?

I was under the impression that it was something more...

Yeah me too. From the way the democrats were talking I was expecting something as bad as Kathy Griffin holding up a bloody Trump head. So I went a-googling and found the video. Most have been taken down so don't be surprised if the video stops working soon.

It's completely stupid. I am more embarrassed at Gosar for tweeting such a dumb video than anything else. It certainly doesn't rise to level of censuring him. Any normal person who was in the video would just laugh and go on. But not AOC and Nancy! No! Must take opportunity to condemn Gosar and grab power!! I can't wait till election day next year.

I was thinking it was something at least akin to the "CNN beatdown" video a while back.

[Sparko]

I am surprised they haven't played the race card yet. Are they slipping?

Vote approved 223 to 207 with Cheny voting with the Democrats.

Her state party has distanced themselves from her.

[RumTumTugger]

Vote approved 223 to 207 with Cheny voting with the Democrats.

so what else is new Cheny should go ahead and change her party since she has voted with the Democrats so often.
