McCarthy and GOP Endorse Political Violence

The GOP’s refusal to censure Rep. Paul Gosar for posting an animated video showing him murdering Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a shocking endorsement of political violence targeting women of color.

“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. Minority Leader McCarthy’s silence is tacit approval and just as dangerous.” – Statement Prepared by House Democrats
