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.

Tim Walz Has Epic Clapback After Nancy Mace Asks Him To Define 'Woman' During Congressional Hearing

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz had a splendid response after South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace attempted to claim that his support for transgender women would bar him from recognizing fraud in his state.

Walz's appearance at the hearing comes amid conservative claims—offered with little supporting evidence—that Somali-run childcare centers in Minnesota improperly received public funds intended to support childcare for low-income families. Subsequently, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the FBI expanded their presence in Minnesota as federal authorities froze childcare funding statewide.

Elmo Just Asked His Followers 'Where Have You Been?'—And Zohran Mamdani Had The Purest Response

Elmo, the furry red childlike monster from Sesame Street designed by Caroly Wilcox, began his life as a generic "baby monster" background filler in the 1979-1980 season of the long-running children's television program.

Originally having a gruff voice supplied by various puppeteers, Elmo found his falsetto-voiced, loving persona when Kevin Clash took over in 1985. Elmo was transformed into a three-and-a-half-year-old character designed to connect with the show's audience of preschoolers.
