Social media attack on Joe Biden and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez:
The MP Paul Gosar tweeted an animated video with manipulated photos on Sunday.
The article is titled: “Are there any anime fans out there?”
The video shows the Republican flying through the air armed with two swords and attacking Biden and Alexandria Occasion-Cortez.

There are also pictures of immigrants on the American-Mexican border.
Red spots of color seem to represent blood.
Video footage of former President Donald Trump also appears.
But what about the animated video?
Paul Goslar is considered a strong Trump supporter.
The ultra-conservative congressman is one of Biden’s harsh critics – he doesn’t seem to shy away from populist methods.
The video is a manipulated variant of the anime intro of “Attack on Titan”.
In this version, the heads of Biden, AOC and Gosar are on the animated characters.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez reacts to the video:
Tweet: While I was on my way to Glasgow, a creepy member I work with who raises donations for neo-Nazi groups shared a fantasy video of him killing me. And there will be no consequences for this. “
In June 2020, Gosar is said to have participated in a fundraiser hosted by nationalist Nick Fuentes.
Many Twitter users are also outraged and note that the post violates the rules of the social media platform.
But the video is still available.
The reason given by Twitter: The video would have a public interest.
Gosar’s contribution can no longer be simply commented on or shared.
