Summary
For the first time in eleven years the House of Representatives gathered to censure one of its members. And it did so after Arizona GOP Congressman Paul Gosar posted a video - in the style of a Japanese anime cartoon - which portrayed him beheading Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and attacking President Biden with a pair of swords. We are bringing you the highlights today because nothing better illustrates the difference between the two major political parties today.
