A Republican lawmaker is facing calls to resign after he posted a disturbing and violent anime video in which he killed Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez with a sword.
Representative Paul Goser posted the clip Twitter Showcasing a sword-wielding character with Gosar’s face using a jetpack to climb onto a roof before attacking the AOC on Sunday.
He hits the New York liberal in the back of the neck, draws a spray of blood and then moves on to President Joe Biden.
The video with over 3 million views remains on Twitter despite the social media platform being slapped with a warning of ‘hateful content’ on Monday.
The 32-year-old AOC called it “scary” and claimed that 62-year-old Goser “will face no consequences” as he was backed by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy.
“So while I was on my way to Glasgow working with a creepy member who fundraises neo-Nazi groups, she shared a fictional video of her hitting me,” she tweeted. ‘And he won’t have to face any consequences because @GOPLeader encourages him with excuses.’
Goser, a close aide of QAnon MP Marjorie Taylor-Green, has faced previous criticism for spreading conspiracy theories about the January 6 riots on Capitol Hill and a deadly white-nationalist rally in Charlottesville in 2017.
The AOC, 32, (pictured at Tuesday’s COP26 climate summit in Glasgow, Scotland) called it ‘scary’ and claimed Goser, 62, would face ‘no consequences’ as he was supported by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy it was done.

Gosar’s violent tweet has since been removed by Twitter for ‘violating rules about hateful content’.
Republican Representative Paul Goser posted a funny anime video on Twitter that shows him biting Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s back.
Some Twitter users are calling for the ‘mad’ politician to be removed from the platform and Congress to boot.
‘under [no] Circumstances must put an end to their fantasies of killing people,’ tweeted @fred_guttenberg, whose daughter Jaime was killed during the Parkland, Florida, school shooting.
‘We know he’s a lunatic. America, we better vote for Democrats in 2022 or else he will lead.
Gosar’s Twitter settings prohibit any politician from commenting directly, and only three of the 4,529 connections had the opportunity to speak.
‘Best Congressman,’ said @RepGosarFan. ‘Best timeline.’
The internet’s latest death fantasy enraged scores of Twitter users.
@KaivanShroff tweeted, ‘Republican @RepGosar has shared a photoshopped animated video of him killing Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
“Absolutely shameful. She should be removed from the functions of the committee just as Marjorie Taylor Green was.’
Added @DHStokyo: ‘I’m here to say that I do not want radical Republicans who succumb to fantasies of violence towards their allies, nor their party leaders who ignore it, anywhere near my government. ‘
Ocasio-Cortez (pictured: a recent social media update on her Instagram from Scotland) broke her political nemesis after a sick video of Goser broke more than 2.6 million views as of Monday night.
It’s no secret that Gossar, a staunch Donald Trump supporter, and Ocasio-Cortez don’t see much of a face-to-face with their socialist leanings.
Politicians on opposite sides of the political spectrum disagree on everything from vaccine mandates and immigration to universal health care and the Capitol riots.
The AOC – which often attracts the ire of right-wing pundits and politicians – has previously detailed security concerns related to its high-profile job.
She revealed in a 2019 Time magazine interview that enough people have threatened to kill her that her employees have been trained to evaluate visitors to her Capitol Hill office — even those who don’t. Post-it notes are left on the plaque in the hallway.
Earlier this year, he recalled hiding in the bathroom of his office during the Capitol riots on January 6, after hearing that someone was behind him.

Fred Gutenberg, whose daughter Jaime died during the Parkland, Florida, called Goser “crazy” and said he should be kicked out of Congress.
User @DHStokyo said he doesn’t want ‘radical Republicans who descend on fantasies towards their allies’ anywhere near his government
‘I just hear this scream’ Where is he? Where is he?’ Ocasio-Cortez said. ‘It was the moment I thought everything was over. I thought I was going to die.’
The Congresswoman then revealed that it was a Capitol police officer who was there to secure her office – but claimed that the police were ‘looking at me with great anger and hostility.’
He said, ‘I didn’t know if he was there to help us or hurt us.
He took refuge in the office of his colleague, Representative Katie Porter.
