Before Republican Rep Paul Gosar of Arizona tweeted an anime video doctored to depict him killing Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, he had tweeted a video cheering about Hillary Clinton almost being severely injured.
Journalist Aaron Rupar quote-tweeted a video that Mr Gosar had tweeted on Christmas Eve reading “Remember the reason for the season! #MerryChristmas.” Attached was a video from the 1990s during a 60 Minutes interview showing Ms Clinton with former president Bill Clinton ducking as a light falls over and nearly hits her.
The House of Representatives was voting on Wednesday on whether to censure Mr Gosar. The move comes after he tweeted a doctored video of the anime Attack on Titan that featured a character with his face killing a giant that had Ms Ocasio-Cortez’s face on it.
