Cheney, Kinzinger signal they'd back Gosar censure
The Hill ^ | 11/12/2021 | CRISTINA MARCOS

Reps. Liz Cheney (Wyo.) and Adam Kinzinger (Ill.), are expressing support for censuring their fellow Republican Rep. Paul Gosar (Ariz.) for posting a photoshopped anime video this week depicting himself killing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.).

Cheney and Kinzinger have frequently criticized their own party over its continued ties to former President Trump, but it is nevertheless extraordinarily rare for lawmakers to back censure efforts against members of their own party.

A group of House Democrats, led by Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.), formally introduced a resolution on Friday to censure Gosar over the video, which the Arizona Republican defended as a "symbolic" fight over immigration but appeared to remove it from Twitter following the outcry.

Appzrently Trump was “mean” to dick because he was a Warhawk. Trump didn’t support the war, so ole lizzie bordon took personal offense to that

We need to file suit against them for falsely claiming to be republicans.

These two aren't decent people.

Griffin decent? No. Gosar has struck be as a bit of a moron but I always thought he had at least a little decency in him. His video was stupid, but in keeping with his past history.

Will Cheney and Kinzinger condemn upcoming BLM & ANTIFA riots, burnings, lootings and murders?

Probably not... Cheney and Kinzinger are head up their asses ‘elite’ jerks.

Kinzinger and Cheney aren’t decent. Gosar only did what the left does all the time. Get over it.

So then if you think Gosar was right for doing it then you can hardly condemn the left when they do it too, right?

On a side note - Talking to Doodledawg is a complete waste of time as that troll has existed on FR for far too long.

Wasn’t it just a retweet of something that someone made with him in it? I can’t believe the double standards that occupy the minds of even the people on FR. This wasn’t a big deal at all.

I have not seen the video. Is it available somewhere, unedited from the version Gosar supposedly posted?

It won’t make a bit of difference to Gosar. He represents a heavily conservative western and northwestern AZ and will win re-election easily.

Gosar, Biggs and Gaetz should get on the floor and demand not just a censure, but the immediate resignation of Swallwell and Omar for sleeping with a spy and marrying her brother to gain citizenship. Why the Republicans don’t make a deal about this is absolutely mind boggling.
