These radical right wing MAGA Republicans are a serious danger and continue to incite violence against Democrats. Every single one of them inciting violence need to be expelled from Congress. How is this allowed from a sitting member of Congress? Yet Republicans stay quiet because they are all just like Paul Gosar. This is the guy who hangs out with and supports white nationalists and neo Nazis. His own family has disowned him because of his extreme radicalization and neo Nazis ties.
Republican Paul Gosar tweets anime-themed video of him killing Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., the far-right dentist known for his ties to multiple white nationalist groups, on Sunday released a video of photoshopped clips of an anime show depicting him killing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.
The tweeted video – which he captioned, "Any anime fans out there?" – opens with Gosar's name under Japanese text that reads "attack of immigrants," an apparent reference to the anime show "Attack on the Titan" from which the Republican pulled various clips.
The video then goes on to show footage of immigrants at the southern border, overlaying the footage with anime-style special effects and crosscutting with interstitials that read "drugs, crime, poverty, money, gangs, violence" and "trafficking."
About midway into the video, "Attack on the Titan main character Eren Yaeger is shown in a mashup of clips with Gosar's face photoshopped onto the cartoon character. Swords in both hands, the fictionalized Gosar scales a European-esque urban landscape alongside cartoon versions of Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., and Lauren Bobert, R-Colo., until slaying what appears to be a titan with Ocasio-Cortez's face photoshopped onto it.
Toward the end, the cartoon Gosar is shown leaping into the air with his blades unsheathed moments before striking the photoshopped head of President Joe Biden.
"Attack on Titan," a best-selling Japanese manga series created by Hajime Isayama, is set in a world in which humanity lives inside a city surrounded by walls guarding its populace from human-eating beasts called "titans". Though the creator has strayed from addressing the politics of the show, it has been interpreted by white nationalists online to be an allegory for U.S., which they say teaches white people to hate themselves for the sins of their ancestors, according to The New Republic. Liberal commentators have meanwhile critiqued show for its possible allusions of anti-Semitic tropes.
The video, which has garnered roughly 1.5 million views since its release on Twitter, takes ostensibly a political attack ad on the Biden administration for its handling of the surge in immigrants at the southern border.
All throughout his presidency, Biden has faced criticism from Republicans for adopting what they say is an overly permissive approach to immigration, allowing too many migrants to pass through the border.
Biden recently faced bipartisan scrutiny back in September, when it was reported that the U.S. had begun clearing out a squalid encampment of 12,000 Haitian migrants seeking asylum near the Rio Grande.
That same month, photos surfaced of border agents on horseback aggressively corralling Haitian migrants between Del Rio, Texas, and Acuña, Mexico. The pictures drew a tidal wave of outrage from progressives and immigration advocates. Biden's special envoy to Haiti shortly resigned after the scandal, citing the administration's "deeply flawed" policies on Haitian immigration.

Gosar, first elected to Congress in 2010, is arguably one of Donald Trump's most loyal backers and is notorious for his off-color remarks and ties to white nationalist groups.
Back in February, the Republican attended the America First Political Action Conference, a white nationalist conference, cozying up to far-right white nationalist Nick Fuentes, who is known anti-semitic rhetoric and Holocaust denial.
Rep. Paul Gosar, after speaking at AFPAC on Friday night, and then saying he denounces “white racism” at CPAC on Saturday morning, is now meeting with white nationalist and Unite the Right attendee Nick Fuentes with a CPAC lanyard around his neck.
In a March interview with Salon's Igor Derysh, all three of Gosar's siblings expressed a firm belief that their brother is a white supremacist.
"He's literally scared of his own shadow," said Gosar's brother, Tim. "That's what kind of person we're talking about here. Is he a white supremacist for political gain? Absolutely. Is he a white supremacist because he's a 'scared of his own shadow' guy? Yeah, he is that too."

On Sunday, Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) triggered outrage by tweeting out an anime-themed video depicting himself killing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and swinging a pair of swords at President Joe Biden.
The stunt earned furious condemnation from Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA).
"This is sick behavior from Rep. Paul Gosar," said Lieu, a former Air Force Reserve officer. "He tweeted out the video showing him killing Rep. Ocasio-Cortez from both his official account and personal account. In any workplace in America, if a coworker made an anime video killing another coworker, that person would be fired."
Gosar also drew outrage from former Republican National Committee official Doug Heye, who tweeted, "This deserves an overwhelmingly bipartisan censure."
An extreme-right lawmaker who has been condemned by his own family members, Gosar has been accused of associating with white supremacists. He has repeatedly used his account to spread far-right internet memes, including from a "men's right's activist" who has said men should stand up straight to project dominance over women.

Normally when an individual threatens someone's life or draws a cartoon about someone being killed, a judge will issue a victim protection order and police do investigations. But when a Republican member of Congress does it, things get complicated.
Such was the case when Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) posted an anime cartoon of himself assassinating colleague Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). The photo also depicts himself swinging swords at President Joe Biden. The photo was a violation of Twitter's terms of service and was removed, but not before many screen captures were taken.
Gosar's siblings have worked to tell voters as often as possible that their brother is mentally ill and that he doesn't belong in Congress. His colleagues are also calling on either censure or expulsion for Gosar. Expelling Gosar from Congress would take all Democratic members to vote for it and 70 Republicans. Thus far only one Republican has been willing to denounce what Gosar did.
Many also noted that this isn't the first time Gosar has casually talked about assassination. There's also the matter of his participation in the planning of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, said Ali Alexander. He warrants investigation by the FBI as a danger to America, commentators tweeted.
You can see some of the ways leaders and officials are responding to the tweet below. Many have called on Republican House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) to act. It's unclear if there will be a vote to censure Gosar for the behavior.
