House is Set to Censure Paul Gosar for Violent Video
The New York Times
The Democratic-led House is expected to formally rebuke the Arizona Republican, meting out a rarely used punishment for the first time in over a decade.
WASHINGTON — House Democrats will move on Wednesday to censure Representative Paul Gosar, Republican of Arizona, and strip him of committee assignments for posting an animated video depicting him killing a Democratic member of Congress and assaulting President Biden.
The vote to censure, the most severe punishment the House of Representatives can mete out short of expulsion, comes a week after Mr. Gosar used his official social media accounts to circulate the video clip, borrowed from a popular anime program. The video was altered to show a figure with Mr. Gosar’s face slashing the neck of another figure bearing the face of Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Democrat of New York, and swinging swords at Mr. Biden.
Democrats will also move to oust Mr. Gosar from his seats on the House Oversight and Natural Resources Committees, shutting him out of any opportunity to influence legislation or oversight in Congress.
