Representative Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) retweeted a doctored anime video depicting him killing Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) only minutes after the House censured him over the video.

Gosar had previously deleted the controversial video, which shows him slaughtering Ocasio-Cortez before turning the blade towards President Joe Biden, refusing to apologize but explaining that he had "self-censored" due to a sense of "compassion for those who generally felt offense." However, Gosar's position appeared to have changed quickly after the House voted largely along party lines to censure him on Wednesday.

Gosar retweeted conservative podcaster Elijah Schaffer's tweet of the video within an hour of the House vote. The new tweet was captioned by Schaffer, "Really well done. We love @DrPaulGosar, don't we folks?"

How many votes does it take to expel a member of Congress?

[unblock]

1. Two-thirds to expel. Not gonna happen. Too many fascists.

[George II]

2. Two thirds. We'll never get that.

[dweller]

3. 2/3

Time to bring in Justice

✌🏻

[msongs]

4. it's what twitter does, every bit as bad as facebook nt

[LiberalFighter]

5. Can they go after the staff members?

[Orrex]

6. This will all but guarantee his reelection

[Hekate]

7. Those on Twitter, please complain to the management

[3catwoman3]

8. I suppose we shouldn't be...

...in the least surprised.

[aggiesal]

9. Making his "It was a joke" statement completely BS! n/t

[Orrex]

10. One infers that we can post any and all threats to Gosar with impunity, then.

[DallasNE]

11. This Makes All But 2 House Republicans Look Like Total Idiots. n/t

[3catwoman3]

17. They don't just...

…look like total idiots, they are total idiots as well as spineless cowards.

[Jakes Progress]

12. Too many cowering, gutless republicans.

[TygrBright]

13. Because of course he did. n/t

[KS Toronado]

14. Can someone with video skills

take Gosar's video and replace AOC's head with TFG? Now watch the outrage on FQX.

[C Moon]

16. That's what he would want, to make his actions the norm.

[mwooldri]

27. I'm waiting for a DMCA takedown request...

... from the makers of the anime. That would be nice IMO.

[Justice matters.]

30. The POS makers of that crap should get a "visit" from the Secret Service.

Agents should request all informations from Dorsey's sh!thouse.

[flying_wahini]

33. Great idea!

[C Moon]

15. Does that guy drink too much, or what? Man. What a frigging FREAK!

[YoshidaYui]

18. Brain dead republican

asshole

[toughtony]

19. Totally Predictable

Who didn't expect a Donald Trump double down. He's a child doing what children do, following behind a childish leader, the great and mighty fool. I'm not surprised at all. They can't win fairly so childish behavior is what they've resorted to.

[qazplm135]

20. No win situation

we do nothing, they take advantage. We do something, they ignore because we can't really do anything substantive.

Now, if they win the House, we will see several of our members removed from committees.

[Evolve Dammit]

44. we will see much more than that. They are dangerous, seditionist fascists. It will be "revenge"

and their Orange God will orchestrate it, possibly as House Speaker. We aren't equipped for this and time is moving fast toward mid-terms. Fentanyl is looking tempting at this point...

[LittleGirl]

21. Will he be banned from Twitter? Probably not, right? ugh nt

[2naSalit]

22. And the tweet thing hasn't shut down his acct yet?

[Karma13612]

23. That's

What I was thinking. When does Twitter step up and follow their own TOS??

[2naSalit]

26. Should have happened over a week ago.

[bucolic_frolic]

24. Wow that is as inflammatory as it can get

proof that it's all about owning the libs?

[Aviation Pro]

25. "Is it safe?"

.....

[gopiscrap]

28. censure him again

take away parking space and all other priveledges

[TexasBushwhacker]

29. The balls on this guy! N/t

[vsrazdem]

31. Why is this allowed on twitter?

[oldsoftie]

32. My most ardent trump supporting friend backed gosar's censure. Shocked me.

We dont speak much, but he actually said that on FB. TOTALLY surprised me.

[PortTack]

34. Twitter needs to take it down and ban him!!

[malthaussen]

35. Just in case there was any doubt about how much a censure is worth. n/t

[Steelrolled]

36. The US government is unable to silence him - I guess it is now up to Twitter.

As long as it doesn't hurt their ad income, they can ban away.

[Liberty Belle]

37. Can she sue him for cyber-harassment?

[davsand]

38. Can't the Secret Service go after this?

Seems to me they have a job to protect elected folks' safety. Can't imagine a freakin cartoon threat REPEATED isn't an actual threat.

I have refused to watch it, but didn't he feature Biden in it too?? If the average guy did that you know damn well they'd be unamused by it.

[Polybius]

40. They don't get involved unless it's against the President or VP

Or their immediate families. Is Biden in it too? I didn't see it so I can't comment on that.

[Bondor]

39. Time to escalate

If there are no further consequences, the bad behavior is normalized. He knew he would displease Dems at the outset. Apparently what he needs to learn is that the behavior is unacceptable. Kick him off all committees. He has forced our hand.

[llashram]

41. these creeps

just are not afraid of the consequence. And since their Party leader is a sexual predator, grifter, con man, liar extraordinaire, what can be expected of the Gosars et al.? No consequence for their irresponsibility and out and out threats of MURDER!!! This is petty dictator stuff. America has fallen so low, ideologically, racially, politically.

[Evolve Dammit]

45. No consequences for 4 years of corruption and a coup attempt. Why worry??

[llashram]

46. ++

4 long years and looking for more. "Shadow government"? From mar-a--whatever?!? Give me a f****** break!!! I just pray and I mean pray(last resort) our P{arty leadership whips some strength on these corrupt criminals and mega thieves. Does inauguration funds missing ring a bell, anybody?

[Evolve Dammit]

47. yeah one of thousands of crimes never investigated and if they were, they were dropped.

[llashram]

49. really

sad state of affairs.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

42. Dumbasses like to double down on stupid

[Harker]

43. A restraining order would be good. n/t

[orangecrush]

48. After the Rittenhouse verdict

Do we take it seriously now?

[llashram]

50. every since

jackson state and kent...
