A group of House Democrats said Wednesday that they plan to introduce a resolution to censure Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., for posting an edited animated video that depicts him killing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and attacking President Joe Biden. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Calif., a co-chair of the Democratic Women’s Caucus, was joined by nine other lawmakers in a joint statement announcing their plans to file the censure resolution Friday.
