Rep. Paul Gosar set off a firestorm of controversy on Monday when he tweeted an animated video depicting himself and other Republicans as heroic warriors fighting against Democrats, interspersed with footage of migrants arriving at the southern U.S. border.
...
The video features characters from a Japanese-style anime series, their faces replaced with pictures of Gosar and two other conservative firebrands. In one scene, Gosar's character executes another character, doctored to depict Ocasio-Cortez, by striking her in the back of the neck with a sword. In another, Gosar confronts Biden head-on with two swords drawn.
...
Twitter, facing backlash, declined to remove Gosar's video but has attached a warning label to it. Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is calling for a series of investigations into Gosar. Ocasio-Cortez responded in a tweet of her own, saying "a creepy member I work with who fundraises for Neo-Nazi groups shared a fantasy video of him killing me."
