He's trying to take the pressure of not voting for BBB.


Granted neither he nor AOC voted for BIF - but he's a do nothing Congressman. Nothing.

They pull stunts and we let them control the conversation.

I'm in a deep red southern town, so I can post a similar video of me killing the mayor or corrupt sheriff and get away with it?

Fanning the flames.

AOC feared for her life during the storming of the Capitol. Not good enough for a creep like Gosar. He runs the risk of inspiring some psycho to "finish the job." But he doesn't seem to care about that.

Especially when they begin dancing closer and closer to the line with these images of strange fruits.

I know that folks will say; "well, they'll just do the same to Dems when they have the power", but this is beyond the pale.

He should be expelled from Congress, and the vote to do so should take place today.

This is different in that it is an official endorsement from a sitting representative. I understand, however, that conservatives (and probably most other people) aren't going to make that distinction, so we may as well just accept that this is how it's gonna pan out.

Otherwise we end up electing people like Lauren Boebert to office. Nothing something I'd want on my conscience.

Having a hard time following this. Can someone point to the time on the video where he is killing AOC. Not doubting it, just am not seeing it myself. It is one weird video.

27. Twitter labels GOP Rep. Gosar's video of him killing AOC, attacking Biden "hateful conduct"

Gosar should be banned




Twitter said Monday that Rep. Paul Gosar's (R-Ariz.) sharing of a doctored video to Twitter and Instagram showing him killing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and attacking President Biden with two swords violates the company's policies.

Why it matters: Dozens of social media users flagged the video, posted Sunday, as a potential violation of Twitter's rules regarding violent threats and the glorification of violence, and other users have called for his Twitter and Instagram accounts to be suspended, the Washington Post reports.

What's happening: A Twitter spokesperson said in an emailed statement that the company placed a public interest notice on his tweet "as it violates our hateful conduct policy."

"As is standard with this notice, engagements with the Tweet will be limited. People will be able to Quote Tweet the Tweet, but will not be able to Like, Reply or Retweet it," the spokesperson said.

Twitter should ban this asshole
