House plans to vote Wednesday to censure Gosar and strip him of 1 committee

The House will vote Wednesday on a resolution that both censures Republican Rep. Paul Gosar of Arizona and removes him from the Committee on Oversight and Reform, a source says

Gosar is facing censure for his posting of a photoshopped anime video to his Twitter and Instagram accounts showing him appearing to kill Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and attacking President Joe Biden.Gosar, who later took down the video after facing criticism but did not apologize, sits on the Oversight Committee alongside Ocasio-Cortez. He also sits on the House Committee on Natural Resources.

"The move to censure Gosar follows a lack of action from Republican leadership in the House. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, who did not comment publicly on the Gosar episode until this week, noted that he had called the Arizona Republican after the tweet, who then deleted it, but he did not explicitly condemn Gosar's behavior.
