The House of Representatives will vote Wednesday on whether to censure Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) over an anime video he posted online last week that depicted him killing or threatening monsters with the faces of Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and President Joe Biden.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told reporters on Capitol Hill Tuesday that she would allow a censure resolution to come to a vote on the House floor. She made the decision, she said, because Gosars video not only caused endangerment to a fellow member of Congress but was an insult to the institution of the House.

A censure is a rarely used, formal condemnation of a House member, considered one of the most severe forms of discipline in the legislative branch, save for outright expulsion. It requires a simple majority vote to pass.

If successfully censured, Gosar would be required to stand in the well of the House as Pelosi reads aloud the censure resolution denouncing his actions.

The resolution introduced by Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) and co-sponsored by 18 other Democratic members of the House late last week states that depictions of violence can foment actual violence and jeopardize the safety of elected officials, as witnessed in this chamber on January 6, 2021, when a right-wing mob stormed the Capitol in an attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. (Ocasio-Cortez hid in a bathroom during the encounter, which she later recalled in horrifying detail .)

The resolution also states that violence against women in politics is a global phenomenon meant to silence women and discourage them from seeking positions of authority and participating in public life, with women of color disproportionately impacted.

Asked by reporters about the censure resolution Tuesday, Ocasio-Cortez said , I think that in a perfect world, he would be expelled.

The House will also vote on a motion Wednesday to strip Gosar of a seat on the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, an assignment he currently shares with Ocasio-Cortez.

Gosar posted the video to his Twitter and Instagram accounts on Nov. 7. The minute-and-a-half clip features Gosars likeness edited into scenes from the anime series Attack on Titan. The video depicts Gosar as the series hero slaying a monster with the face of Ocasio-Cortez, whose throat he slits, and brandishing a sword at another with the face of Biden.

Any anime fans out there? Gosar tweeted when posting the video.
