The House Will Vote on a Resolution to Censure and Remove Gosar From Committees Following His Violent Tweet
The House will vote Wednesday on a resolution to censure Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) and take away his committee assignments for posting an anime video that depicted him violently attacking Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and President Biden.
The move, confirmed by sources familiar with the plan, would make Gosar just the 24th House member to be censured in the chamber’s history and the first in more than a decade.
Censure is an extraordinarily rare and dramatic punitive measure that requires the sanctioned lawmaker to stand in the center of the chamber as the resolution is read aloud by the House Speaker.
