Rep. 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.’

After Taylor Greene the republicans were going to slap a dem once they came to power no matter what the offense.

If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

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.

If only the rules didn’t require a two-thirds majority, which is unlikely to be reached, with exactly two Republicans treating it as bad enough for a reprimand. I’d liken the Republicans to a gang, but I recently rewatched Goodfellas and know that most gangs actually have standards over what they’ll allow members to do:

The US has it's first woman President! During Biden's recent physical, he was under general anaesthesia for a colonoscopy. For 85 minutes, Kamala Harris was President of the United States.
