(Reuters) - Twitter Inc added a warning label on Tuesday to an anime video shared by U.S. Republican lawmaker Paul Gosar, depicting him swinging swords at President Joe Biden and killing Democratic congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Twitter said the video violated its "hateful conduct" policy and restricted engagement with the tweet, blocking the ability to like, reply or retweet it.

However, the social media giant said in a notification attached above the tweet that it had determined "it may be in the public's interest for the Tweet to remain accessible."

"As is standard with this notice, engagements with the Tweet will be limited," Twitter said in an email. ...............................

1. This guy is a demented extremist. He needs to be expelled from Congress and prosecuted.

[Champp]

2. Expell Gosar from the House

Throw his low-life Republican ass out on the street

[gademocrat7]

3. This rethug needs an immediate intervention.

He is dangerous and evil.

[Sherman A1]

4. He posted a threat and the best they can do is add a flag to his

Content?

Pretty lame response from the twit service.

[PortTack]

10. Exactly..the least they could do is take it down!

[thesquanderer]

15. Interesting question as to which is worse for Gosar...

...taking it down, or leaving it up and flagged so people can see what a nut he is.

[lagomorph777]

16. No, he's proud of his assholiness. It should be removed, and he should be facing charges.

[Traildogbob]

12. FLAGS???

Useless. I got banned for life for calling Tomi Lauren a street light post appendage after she was cheering about gassing refugees on Thanksgiving day. And I am grateful to have been locked out. It’s become a media cesspool for nuts. No offense to the people there with brains. Full offense to the cesspool idiots.

5. Merrick Garland is a good man,

I have no doubt that the FBI will be giving Gosar a visit. I hope that because Gosar is a member of Congress that doesn't put him above the law. Mr. Garland will have to proceed with caution so as to not give the appearance of being partisan, just as he is rightly doing with the Bannon case.

[lagomorph777]

17. Heheh!

Sure.

[durablend]

6. A sternly worded letter to Gosar should take care of it

Telling him to never ever do that again. And he'll stop, I bet!

[dalton99a]

8. GOP Congresscritters are collecting those letters as trophies

They are probably having a contest to see who gets the most

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

7. I despise Arizona Nazis.

Cue Blues Brothers scene "I hate Illinois Nazis" on youtube

[rickyhall]

11. Run 'em off the bridge.

Forget the flying Pinto.

[3825-87867]

9. But..Kathy Griffen!

and the media has an apoplectic fit!

So when someone on the left retaliates, THEN twitter will do something?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

13. Gosar needs to be committed. He is not stable.

I don't make a statement like that lightly.

[geretogo]

14. Hate and mental illness . That is the platform for the GOP . Worthless scum .

[Grins]

18. WHO CREATED THIS???????????????????

Gosar said his "people" were very creative, but I don't think they are creative enough to create this.

So who did...?
