WASHINGTON — The House on Wednesday voted to censure Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., after he posted an animated video that depicted him killing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and attacking President Joe Biden.
The House voted 223-207, with only two Republicans voting in favor of the censure — Reps. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois and Liz Cheney of Wyoming.
The resolution also removes Gosar from the two House committees he serves on, Oversight and Reform and Natural Resources.
"The glorification of the suggestion of the killing of a colleague is completely unacceptable," Cheney told reporters on Wednesday, "And I think that it's a clear violation of House rules. I think it's a sad day."
With the censure resolution passing, Gosar will have to stand in the well of the House chamber as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., reads the resolution. Except for expulsion, censure is considered the harshest punishment against a member in the House.
"When a member uses his or her national platform to encourage violence, tragically, people listen to those words and they may act upon them," Pelosi said on the House floor ahead of the vote. "Words spoken by elected officials weigh a ton. People hear them very differently."

Between 52 and 56 seconds is the time they are referencing, but it’s so fast and frenetic, that it’s hard to tell it’s even supposed to be the bartender.
Paul Gosar should be awarded the Medal of Freedom.
Gosar was censured, not incarcerated. He isn’t going to see the wrong side of a jail door for this.
How come Pelosi can get away with ripping up Trump’s State of the Union speech in front of viewers?
Good for the idiots, they just made a very confusing video very famous.
That was sarcasm. The meme was horrible, and it ruined a decent anime. If it was a meme. Dunno why gosar even liked it. I doubt he even knows what AOT is.
Its at 0:52 into the video and really doesn’t look much like horse face. Rather stupid to get upset over since the DNC has done far worse!
Liz Cheney can’t get the boot fast enough! Cmon Wyoming!
It’s a disjointed POS video, with no Occasional Cortex or Lunch Bucket Joe getting whacked. It’s a garbage charge and censure action.
Only 5 in the entire congressional history. I was surprised so low. I hope in January 2023, we see that number skyrocket.
Oh what crap. McCarthy gave a blistering speech defending Kozar. Why do you type crap you are ignorant about?
Excellent question!
And what about Odungo urging people to "get into peoples' faces"? By this idiot's "thoughts", Odungo should be censured, expelled, drawn and quartered.
This page has been blocked by Microsoft EdgeI'd like to use the term, "unreal," but it's all too real.
“ Reps. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois and Liz Cheney of Wyoming”
I thought I smelled something stinky 🤪
I watched the anime for myself TWICE and I still don’t see what they claim.
