Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) is receiving backlash for a manipulated anime video he posted to Twitter, showing him attacking Rep. Alexandria-Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and President Joe Biden.
Gosar posted the video, adding, “Any anime fans out there?”
The video shows what appears to be Gosar as well as Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) attacking a figure with Ocasio-Cortez’s face on it.
It goes on to depict Gosar as a character running toward Biden’s head with swords.
Images of other officials are shown at the end of the video, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Dr. Anthony Fauci and Vice President Kamala Harris.

Ocasio-Cortez responded to the video in a series of tweets, recalling other situations where she was harassed.
