“With so many real problems facing Americans created by the Biden administration--open borders, soaring gas prices, sky-high grocery bills, and our embarrassment in Afghanistan--my friends across the aisle assemble us here today to debate a cartoon. Political cartoons routinely depict violence. It is not new. Cartoons have depicted violence since there were cartoons. If you don't believe me, google ``political cartoons 2021.'' You will see a depiction of Joe Biden killing a Republican with a steamroller and a Republican elephant trampling voters, among many others. Now, I will ask all of you out there to watch the Gosar cartoon that is occupying the floor of the United States Congress for over an hour today. Is it inappropriate? Yes. Childish? Of course. Stupid? Without question. But is it a threat? Absolutely not. Now, I know some Members may need to seek therapy because they saw this cartoon. But is it a threat? Absolutely not.”
