Republican Rep. Paul Gosar Censured Over Violent Video

The House voted to censure Republican Rep. Paul Gosar of Arizona and remove him from his two committee assignments. Just two Republicans voted with Democrats to make Rep. Gosar the first sitting House member to be censured in more than 10 years. The Arizona Congressman was punished for posting a photoshopped anime video showing him appearing to kill Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and attacking President Joe Biden. Jonathan Karl is the chief Washington correspondent for ABC News and is the author of the new book “Betrayal: The Final Act of the Trump Show.” He tells Anderson Cooper when talking to lawmakers on the Hill for his book, “the way Republicans would talk about Gosar privately is entirely different” than the way they defended him today. 

Plus, the jury in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial has ended the second day of deliberations without a verdict. Mark O’Mara is a criminal defense attorney and successfully defended George Zimmerman. He joins AC360 to discuss the ongoing deliberations.
