GOP Leaders Silent on Violent Rhetoric

Associated Press: “In the past week, Republican Rep. Paul Gosar tweeted a video showing a character with his face killing a figure with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s face. Several of the 13 House Republicans who backed a bipartisan infrastructure bill said they faced threats after their vote. In one profanity-laced voicemail, a caller labeled Rep. Fred Upton a ‘traitor’ and wished death for the Michigan Republican, his family and staff.”

“The response from Republican leaders? Silence.”
