And meanwhile, the Party that argues “it’s only a cartoon” has one of its US Senators engaging in a dog-fight with Big Bird. As Williams often says “you can’t make this stuff up”.

I'm sick of seeing all this juvenile behavior from representatives. The job requires a great deal of responsibility and some reps are just shirking it. It's getting old.

[elenafetter]

If any person working a regular job anywhere in the US did what Gosar did, that's considered hostile and threatening behavior and creating a hostile work environment. The reason those kinds of laws are in place are precisely because abusers will pretend their "joke" is harmless and it's now the responsibility of the target victim to laugh along or be seen as an outlier. It's called minimization and its evil. Psychological torment in the workplace should never be tolerated.

I would have been fired immediately if I made and posted a video like Gosar did. I would be in jail if I made and posted a video like Gosar did attacking the President. It's absolutely disgraceful and McCarthy shares this disgrace for allowing these violent actions to happen.

[kosmokritikos]

Gosar's irresponsible lack of good judgement, common sense and character are symptoms of severe alcoholism but may also indicate mental disorders such as psychopathy. On the other hand, the man may just be evil.

[bookworm]

I can't think of any other occupation ; that if and employee did the same thing they would not be immediately fired.

[Storm]

Censured Yet Paid!!

Will he be Fired now that he did it again after the Vote? 😳😳 OF COURSE NOT!’

[glanphear]

Paul Goser is an example of what a law maker should not be in leadership.

[paperthyme]

And then there's Big Bird, trying to save kids' lives. I never saw Big Bird with a katana trying to cut off Cookie Monster's head!

[PoliticFlix]

His family even wants him to resign and condemns him for it.

[harveysmidlap]

Condoning his behavior is just as bad as him posting it.

[wavydavy]

It's obviously a very effective measure (censuring a member) because now there's no chance that he will _ever_ do anything like that again.
Oh, wait a

[zeebest]

He retweeted the same thing immediately after the censure?!
That deserves more and GREATER punishment!

[papisicle]

His 6 siblings don't even trust him to be decent, that's very telling!

[mikeywiththecamera]

All these Republicans acting as if it wasn't just 4 years ago that every single one of them was feigning outrage over Kathy Griffin's photo.

[jackmundo]

Arizona - You gotta do better by the rest of us.

[monicaduarte]

How embarrassing for Arizona! Must be the heat....

[darryldunmore]

I think he should be ejected from Congress; his sister does, too (I just spotted a video in the sidebar that says his brother does, as well). I have been worried that Marjorie Taylor Greene is going to harm AOC; she seems to have an unhealthy obsession with her.

[KesselRunner]

When his own immediate family are saying he's sick in the head and should be nowhere near power, maybe it's time to pay attention.

[sunnyramsey]

Geee I don't think I'd want the likes of the fascist's gatez, jordan, green standing up for me and my character
God bless America
