Paul Gosar has been censured and removed from at least one committee for a photoshopped anime video showing him attacking Joe Biden and killing AOC. Republicans have warned that the Democrats are setting a precedent that could be used against them in future.
I think a proper Democratic response to this warning should be a resounding, ‘Good! We hope you’ll have the integrity to censure ANY Democrat who behaves this way.’

And have you heard that not only has he shown no remorse, he compared himself to Alexander Hamilton (who was subject to an attempted censure for allegedly mishandling a loan, a subject I don't remember Lin-Manuel Miranda including in Hamilton):
He also retweeted the video minutes after the censure vote.
A vote to expel wouldn’t be out of order at this point. Imagine if you worked for a private company and posted a cartoon of yourself murdering a co-worker. You’d be sacked so fast the air would crackle.
