AOC says Republican who posted sword attack video 'cheered on' by party

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez accused Republican leaders of “cheering on” a congressman who tweeted a video depicting him striking her with a sword – and said the incident showed how US institutions failed to protect women of color.

The Democratic congresswoman from New York also said the Arizona Republican who tweeted the doctored anime video on Sunday, Paul Gosar, was “just a collection of wet toothpicks anyway” and “couldn’t open a pickle jar or read a whole book by himself”.

The video ended with an apparent threat to Joe Biden.

On Tuesday, the House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, said “threats of violence against members of Congress and the president of the United States must not be tolerated” and called on the House Republican leader, Kevin McCarthy, to “join in condemning this horrific video and call on the ethics committee and law enforcement to investigate”.

Kevin McCarthy will do nothing.

2. Republicans are no longer a legitimate political party

They are a gang of street thugs. They want total power for themselves. And it wouldn't bother them a bit if the rest of us were dead.

And the Secret Service must, must look into the threat to the president shown on that same video. If any of us posted that, you can bet you'd be talking to an agent within hours.

3. What happened to other Republicans who crossed the line?

Rep. Ocasio-Cortez has been a favorite target of Republican representatives. Both Marjorie Taylor Greene and Ted Yoho have stalked and accosted her in the past, and they suffered no consequences. Now here's Paul Gosar, treading that same path, and the collective yawn of the Republican caucus can be heard across the country.

Every last Republican in the House sees this as acceptable behavior, because not one of them has stepped up to denounce it.

That guy needs to be removed from congress.
