US lawmaker expelled from committee posts for publishing violent video.
A Republican member of the US Congress has been fired from his two seats on a House committee because of the release of an animated video of the murder of a female Democrat.
The US House of Representatives on Thursday morning condemned for the first time in more than a decade a Republican member and expelled him from the committee he was a member of.
Republican Congressman Paul Gossard recently posted an animated video on his Twitter account of him killing Democrat Alexandra Occasio-Kurtz and attacking President Joe Biden with two swords. The Republic of America showed.
According to Reuters, after voting in the US House of Representatives on Thursday morning, Gossar was summoned to the court with 223 votes in favor and 207 against to hear his conviction and was suspended from two functions of the committee.
The move drew only two votes from Republicans, who largely condemned the Democrats’ move as partisan politics.
Gossar, a staunch ally of former President Donald Trump and an extremist conservative, has denied the allegations in the video, saying “there is no threat in the cartoon other than the threat posed by immigration to our country.” “It does not exist.”
The 62-year-old Republican described Trump supporters who stormed the congressional building on January 6 as “peaceful patriots” who voted against Biden in the 2020 election and backed Trump’s false claims that the election results were stolen. .
According to Reuters, he held two posts on the House Audit and Reform Committee, which was ousted by a vote of members of Congress.
The last time a member of the House of Representatives was convicted in this way was in 2010, when he took action against Charles Wrangell, a Democrat at the time, after several immoral acts, including misappropriation of funds and False financial disclosure reports and federal tax returns were found guilty.
