Far-right Congressman Paul Gosar, a repeat defender of the pro-Trump Capitol insurrectionists, made waves on Monday with a bizarre video posted to his official congressional Twitter account.

Gosar shared an edited video of the opening sequence for the Japanese anime Attack on Titan, featuring him and other far-right members of Congress killing firebrand progressive Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and President Joe Biden.


The video was soon slapped with a disclaimer for violating Twitter's rules of conduct. Nevertheless, Gosar praised his team for compiling it.

Ocasio-Cortez, who is currently on a congressional climate delegation to Scotland, eventually caught wind of the video.

The Congresswoman lambasted Gosar as well as House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California for continually allowing Republican members of Congress to harass, belittle, and intimidate members like her.


 


 


 

Ocasio-Cortez, known colloquially as "AOC," deemed Gosar's post as one instance of a repeated pattern of harassment allowed by the GOP Minority Leader. She pointed to Representative Ted Yoho's outburst last year, when he called her a "f***ing bitch" in front of reporters, as well as far-right conspiracy theorist Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia repeatedly accosting her on the House floor.

She noted that institutions like the House of Representatives are severely inadequate at protecting women of color and that she expected to go "back to business" despite facing violent fantasies from her coworkers.

People expressed support for the Congresswoman.



They're demanding Gosar face consequences.



Gosar has yet to respond.

Nothing seems to get conservatives' goats quite like celebrities having political opinions—well, liberal and leftist celebrities, anyway.

They seem to love it when weird right-wing celebs like Kevin Sorbo get on the internet and say bizarre, usually counterfactual nonsense, or when JK Rowling does her darnedest to make her legacy not about Harry Potter but about her weird obsession with trans people.

Far-right provocateur Ann Coulter is facing fierce criticism after she made a genocidal remark in a now-deleted post on X in response to University of Minnesota professor and Navajo Nation member Melanie Yazzie's speech about colonization.

Yazzie, in a speech at last year's annual Socialism Conference, said "decolonization is the only thing that is going to save us as a species" during a panel hosted by Red Nation, a Native American nonprofit that advocates for Palestinian and Native American rights. She also said that the United States is the "greatest predator empire that has ever existed" and said it should be dismantled.
