Arizona Representative Paul Gosar was facing criticism after he tweeted a video that included altered animation showing him striking Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez with a sword.
The video also shows him apparently set to attack President Biden with a weapon that appears to be a club or a sword.
In a tweet Monday night, Ocasio-Cortez, a New York Democrat, referred to Gosar as "a creepy member I work with" and said he "shared a fantasy video of him killing me." She added that Gosar would face no consequences because Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy "cheers him on with excuses." She also said institutions "don't protect" women of color.
