in Congress’

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) slammed Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) on Tuesday over the latter tweeting an anime clip of him killing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).

Twitter has since flagged the tweet.

“First of all, he has no business being in Congress,” said Schiff on The View. “He should have never been elected. He doesn’t belong there.”

“And, you know, sadly – sadly the Republican conference is now characterized by numerous kooks and dangerous cranks of which he is one,” he continued. “And if you consider who the leadership of that conference is, they’re talking today about removing from committees Republicans who voted for a bipartisan infrastructure bill. Their sin was voting for a bipartisan bill to rebuild our roads and bridges and highways.”

1. Kevin McCarthy is a coward

An ignorant coward.

He will do nothing to Gosar, who will likely be reelected next year.

16. It's not that McCarthy is a coward, it's

just that he agrees with the nutters on using any tactic to intimidate people and hold onto power.

[rickyhall]

25. Kevin McCarthy is a coward

[vanlassie]

27. Coward, Bully, poorly educated, embarrassment.

[mgardener]

44. Elise StefanikR NY 21 is a coward too

She promotes herself as a champion of women.
Well she wasn't brave enough to stand up against Trump either when he castigated ...
"Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) was in the audience at the National Republican Congressional Committee dinner when Trump railed at her and 12 other GOP House members who voted to pass the bipartisan legislation, and a source told the New York Post the first-term lawmaker was "visibly shaken" by the harangue."

They are all cowards

[Ray Bruns]

2. No,it is not a joke, it is not funny.

What kind of psychopath thinks this is funny?

[AZLD4Candidate]

5. Conservative psychopaths

[IronLionZion]

11. Terrorists

[Tommymac]

39. At the least, 20% of the US population thinks it is funny. Seriously.

That is the really scary thing here.

Still trying to puzzle out the Darwinian survival value of those individuals - they have been with us forever, must be some weird survival gene intermingled somewhere.

[geretogo]

3. This country is spiraling down to being another Afghanistan .

[AZLD4Candidate]

4. In the NW part of Arizona, they'll just elect a Gosar clone.

[Evolve Dammit]

6. MAGATs. Who can be the nastiest? It's been contest since Orange Julius set the tone. n/t

[bringthePaine]

7. Gosar is just another sick incel; marginalize by all means; expulsion from gov't ASAP

[Me.]

8. Why Are They Not Calling For Him To Be Arrested

or at the very least have a pre-visit from FBI?

[gab13by13]

10. Secret Service should visit him,

president Biden was threatened too.

[Me.]

13. Anyone For Heaven's Sake

Even Yosemite Sam would be a step forward

[KPN]

9. Every elected Democrat needs to start talking with this

level of honesty and openness. If we do not aggressively call them on it, for what they are, we will be lost.

[raccoon]

12. Way to go, Adam! I'm sick and tired of these Stupid Republicans

Acting like mafia thugs with no repercussions whatsoever.

[Jacoby365]

14. Pelosi is speaker of the house. Isn't there something she can do?

Seems as if she has the power to initiate something against Gosar.

[MineralMan]

18. An Ethics Committee Hearing.

She may well have already asked for that. That's the first step toward any action, which could even include removal from the House of Representatives.

[leftieNanner]

19. Maybe censure?

But it takes 3/4 of the House to expel a member, and the GOP side of the aisle won't do it.

[EndlessWire]

46. But they can't stop him from being prosecuted

under the Statute. That's what has to happen. Mighty hard to vote on stuff when you're in jail. Let him have a trial; the stress of that would be pretty punishing. They could do both: prosecute him for the threats, and have a kick-him-to-the-curb vote also.

I'm pretty mad about this. I'm tired of discovering that the very people who are supposed to be better than us, leading us, are juvenile thugs. This is just awful. What is wrong with these people?? They are no better than a violent mob.

[Orrex]

15. But a Democrat who, years before, gestured at a consenting woman's chest

Is forced by his own party to retire.

[JohnSJ]

17. He won't resign. What the House needs to do at a minimum is censure him. I know that may not

seem particularly harsh, but it would highlight that this is unacceptable, and worse, it sends a message to his unstable followers to do violence

[ShazzieB]

20. Not good enough.

Twitter has since flagged the tweet.

Big deal. I mean, it's better than nothing, but come on, Twitter! This dude is freaking dangerous! His own siblings are saying so, to anyone who will listen. Get off your asses and ban his!

[Nululu]

26. Agreed He should be banned.

[OldBaldy1701E]

43. He and those like him are making Twitter much money

You really think they will do anything about anything on their site until you threaten their income?

[Champp]

21. Hear, Hear. #ExpellGosar

He's a republican so he will not do the honorable thing and resign.

[vlyons]

22. Hell we need to CONSTANTLY label then for what they are

Fucking Fascists In what way are these creeps any different that the German Nazis, who instigated Krystallnacht? We live in degenerate times.

[Marthe48]

23. Examples of how hard it is to expel, arrest, censure officials

No one elected to public office is above the law, and yet, time and time again, elected officials skirt the law, thumb their noses, get a pass. And in some cases, henchmen get the same preferential treatment when they break laws.

I saw gosar's sister on the Last Word last night. She sounded so frusrtated that he is still in Congress.

[ancianita]

24. The pattern of yelling fire in the political arena does cross into criminal intimidation.

This constitutes obscenity. This constitutes fighting words. This is not protected free speech.

... no protection by the First Amendment (and therefore may be restricted) include obscenity, fraud, child pornography, speech integral to illegal conduct, speech that incites imminent lawless action, speech that violates intellectual property law, true threats, and commercial ...

[bucolic_frolic]

28. fraud is The Big Lie /nt

[ancianita]

35. That drives it, but so does hate for political opponents. Hate is a corporate tool.

[LogicFirst]

29. Schiff can call for his resignation all he wants, but Gosar will not only not resign,

but he will be re-elected.

[ancianita]

36. Right. The only thing that makes Republicans take law seriously

is actual apprehension and arrest. The FBI are loathe to apprehend much besides electronics stuff, and they'll play along with the long game of legal stall until another administration drops the charges.

[FakeNoose]

30. It's time to get some dirt on Gosar - Let's burn him

Come on guys! There has to be dirt on him.

Did he take NRA money? Did he travel with underage women who aren't part of his family? Maybe he wears women's underwear? There must be something. This guy has to go.

[bucolic_frolic]

32. He's a dentist?

What's distorting his mind?

[colsohlibgal]

31. He Is Clinically Insane

His family says he’s insane and dangerous. He belongs in a psychiatric ward not Congress.

[King_Klonopin]

42. I think he has mad cow disease (Creutzfeldt-Jakob) n/t

[Pepsidog]

33. Schiff for AG Now!

[monkeyman1]

37. I'M IN !

[YoshidaYui]

34. burn his ass at the stake

bastard

[monkeyman1]

38. I'm for stake him out on a fire ant hill !!

[soldierant]

40. It would take a 2/3 majority in the House to expel him.

It would only take a simple majority to disqualify him under the fourteenth, but that would have to be on the basis od violating his oath of office after he assumed office. Of course he did, he was in on the insurrection, but does the house have evidence yet, and if it does, does it want to expose that evidence to get rid of him now, or use it to catch bigger fish first?

Of course he is guilty of death threats, but under what jurisdiction could he be prosecuted? Putting him into prison would effectively take him out of Congress, at least for the duration of the sentence. But a conviction would be needed first. And in irder to convict, the first step would be filing charges. Who is willing to do that?

[DENVERPOPS]

41. YMBL

would I love to see that, and to have it become a slippery slope for the entire party of Republicans who say/display despicable, vulgar, vile shit about Democrats.

[Paladin]

45. Enough talking about this dangerous psychotic.

Fucking DO SOMETHING about him, Congressional Democrats.
