House Censures Rep. Gosar for Violent Video in Rare Rebuke

By KEVIN FREKING and BRIAN SLODYSKO The Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House has voted to censure Republican Rep. Paul Gosar of Arizona for posting an animated video that depicted him killing Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez with a sword.

It was an extraordinary rebuke on Wednesday that highlighted the political strains testing Washington and the country.

The resolution will also remove Gosar from his two House committees: Natural Resources and the Oversight and Reform panel on which Ocasio-Cortez also serves.

Democratic lawmakers said Gosar's actions amounted to threatening another member's life. Gosar said, "I do not espouse violence toward anyone. I never have."
