Even among the pack of extremist idiots who populate the right-wing of the Republican Party, Rep. Paul Gosar (AZ) stands out as one of the most disgusting and deplorable GOPers to be found anywhere.
Gosar has ties to several white supremacist groups, and is so unhinged that even his siblings have said he needs to be removed from Congress ASAP.
Today, Gosar has once again stepped way over the line by posting a video on Twitter which shows him killing both President Joe Biden and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).
Jon Skolnik of Salon reports:
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.”
But it’s what happens next that’s so incredibly disturbing and should garner Gosar attention from both the Secret Service and FBI.
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.
The very idea of such a video is proof-positive that Republicans like Gosar have given up trying to debate ideas and explain where they disagree with their political opponents. Instead, they plot coups by attacking the Capitol and calling for a sitting vice president to be hanged.
Gosar should be charged with threatening the life of the president and a member of Congress. The Justice Department should insist that he be prosecuted. If he’s allowed to get away with this sort of threat, then it’s only a matter of time before we see more violence in the city that just so happens to be the seat of American government.
