Because Twitter deemed the original tweeted video as against their terms of service but left it up for the purposes of newsworthiness, we will issue a warning to the reader.
The video at the end of this article is to be viewed with viewer discretion. Recently, U.S. House Rep Paul Gosar (R-AZ) posted a video with edits to an anime clip. U.S. Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was edited into the video. Many left-leaning news outlets reported that Rep Gosar tweeted a video where he is edited “killing” AOC.
Gosar and his followers appear to think that the video edit was lighthearted and not meant to incite violence, but AOC and many others have taken it that way anyway. AOC tweeted:
“So while I was en route to Glasgow, a creepy member I work with who fundraises for Neo-Nazi groups shared a fantasy video of him killing me And he’ll face no consequences bc @GOPLeader cheers him on with excuses. Fun Monday! Well, back to work bc institutions don’t protect woc”

In response, Gosar posted a “Wojack” meme insulting AOC more and then tweeted about illegal immigration.

“Our southern border is being invaded by illegal aliens. 2.3 million lawbreakers will pour into the U.S. this year. AOC and Joe Biden continue to defend their open border policies. I will always fight for the rule of law, securing our borders & defending the America First agenda.”

It’s hard to say what more may come from the fallout of this “anime video edit” that was tweeted out. Just like the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, many on one side of the aisle see an entirely different situation than many on the other side of the aisle.
