US House rebukes Republican Congressman Gosar over violent video

Al Jazeera  

‘This is not about me… This is about what we are willing to accept,’ Congresswoman Alexandrio Ocasio-Cortez says. The US House of Representatives has voted to formally rebuke Republican Congressman Paul Gosar for tweeting an animated video that portrayed him killing progressive congresswoman Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez. In a 223 to 207 vote largely along party lines on Wednesday, the House censured Gosar and stripped him of two congressional committee assignments. Republican House leader Kevin McCarthy came to Gosar’s defence, noting that the congressman deleted the video. Earlier this year, the House of Representatives removed Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene from committee assignments over offensive social media posts that promoted unfounded conspiracy theories and attacked Democrats.
