The House censured Rep. Paul Gosar and booted him from his committees over a violent social media post in which he threatened prominent Democrats
The House censured Rep. Paul Gosar and booted him from his committees Wednesday over a violent social media post in which he threatened prominent Democrats, representing a rare rebuke of a colleague that Speaker Nancy Pelosi deemed an "emergency."
While censure itself is rare, this is just the latest episode in the clash between House Democrats and Republican leaders on how best to respond to the more extreme members of the GOP — a problem that continues to resurface, particularly since the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6. McCarthy and others maintained that Gosar had already served his penance by deleting the video. Gosar also issued a statement explaining his rationale, but not apologizing, following a call from McCarthy last week.
As final votes rolled in, Gosar perched once again along the back wall and collected back slaps and fist bumps from GOP colleagues. McCarthy scorched Democrats ahead of the vote, calling the resolution an “abuse of power” by the majority. But Gosar's posting of the video further inflamed tensions between Democrats and Republicans and exacerbated Democratic fears about rhetoric spurring more violence across the country.
