Pelosi calls for criminal investigation into Paul Gosar threat against AOC
Speaker Pelosi calls for a criminal law enforcement inquiry into Rep. Paul Gosar’s threat of violence against AOC.
Pelosi tweeted:
Threats of violence against members of Congress and the President of the United States should not be tolerated. @GOPLeader must join in condemning this horrific video and appealing to the Ethics Committee and law enforcement to investigate. https://t.co/qX8kMbiZ8n

Rep. Gosar threatened a member of Congress. If a non-congressman posted a video like Gosar’s, they would likely face criminal charges for at least terrorist threats.
Kevin McCarthy is so afraid of taking any action against the domestic terrorists in his caucus that he deliberately looks the other way, as the possibility that a Republican like Gosar will incite more violence grows by the day.
Speaker Pelosi is right. The only way the House GOP caucus will be stopped for domestic terror is when people like Gosar face criminal charges for their behavior.
The domestic terrorists should have been cleared out of the House after the 1/6 attack.
Because a two-thirds majority is needed to suspend a member, House Democrats cannot get rid of Gosar on their own. Minority leader McCarthy has refused to take any action against child sex trafficker Matt Gaetz, so he can be expected to follow the same course in the case of Rep. Paul Gosar R-AZ).
Law enforcers need to act and do what McCarthy does not want and Rep. Paul Gosar investigates.
