Rep. Paul Gosar Says Video Depicting Him Attacking Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Is

Last edited Thu Nov 11, 2021, 02:17 PM - Edit history (1)

'SYMBOLIC CARTOON'.

(I heard this same on TV news last night.)

Republican lawmaker says video is ‘in no way intended to be a targeted attack’ against congresswoman or President Biden.

Also:
Arizona Republican Congressman Paul Gosar said an anime video that appeared to show him attacking New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez with a sword wasn’t intended as a threat of violence against the congresswoman, but instead was a reference to the debate over immigration policy.

His team only goes ahead and sticks his face on the main protagonist (Eren).... I really don't want to put spoilers here but I have to in order to get the point across... Eren somehow has the ability to turn into a Titan... Ultimately Eren becomes the villain....

We all knew one or 20 of those growing up, the only thing is......he has some clout and an entire party to put up with his violent wet dreams.

As David Byrne asks. "How did I get here?"

Gosar is trying to slither out of trouble with flimsy excuses. He must be punished for promoting violence and making death threats. That's clearly what these are.

Just as a noose is symbolic of murder. If nothing is done to Gosar, then I'm led to believe something much deeper is happening here.
