Apparently, the way someone animates violence against a colleague matters more than the fact they’re doing it in the first place—at least, if you’re a Republican in the U.S. House of Representatives.
About two weeks ago, members of the House censured Rep. Paul Gosar, an Arizona Republican who tweeted an animated video that portrayed him killing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a New York Democrat and progressive star. The video, to every Democrat’s mind and to GOP Trump critics Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, crossed a line. Privately, Republicans on the Hill have long considered Gosar a fringe figure whose casual closeness with known white nationalists is embarrassing for the party. Nevertheless, ahead of the censure vote, most Republicans linked arms and defended Gosar, whom they argued with varying enthusiasm and sincerity that he had removed the post and apologized for something done by his staff without his knowledge.

The intimidation tactics aren't working anymore.
Yahoo Sports?!
“Yahoo Sports?!”
That’s where the story was. Beats me!
Lauren Boebert is gaining support!
That’s what I think of anytime I see a muslim.
“whose casual closeness with known white nationalists is embarrassing for the party”
You mean consorting with someone who believes in America First and is also (gasp!) white? How dare Boebert and Gosar consider associating with such people.
Someone did something.
Paul Gosar and Lauren Boebert are great representatives.
Yahoo Sports. Not surprising. In case you didn’t know, sports media is at least as Left as the media in general.
Wasn’t, that the picture Omar posted on Twitter after those 13 marines where killed in Afghanistan. Yet not a word from the left or Liz Chaney. Sick bastards.
Philip Elliott lives in a nice, cozy, basement bubble where he is insulated from questions and comments by those he seeks to entertain. As such his words are those of an arrogant coward, common to the MSM.
Someone did something.
Code for “The Jews did it”.
Writer sounds ready to burst into tears. Pathetic.
There’s only one Phil Elliott
Have you not heard it said, “Politics is a sport?”
This is SPORTS???????????????????????????????????
Philip Elliott cries for the muslims.
She’s getting more blowback from the apology than from the original remarks.
And rightly so.
It was originally in Time magazine, where Elliott is now employed.
Prior to that, he was with AP News for 15 years.
He is a left- wing political hack, and an awful writer.
