House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said to reporters during a press call on Tuesday, \"I have never in 40 years seen such a vile, hateful, outrageous, dangerous, and inciting to violence against a colleague, ever.\"

\"The fact that they would not take some action themselves or make some comments themselves, which I have not seen, is a testament that perhaps they are rationalizing, as they rationalize other items of criminal behavior, this particular action,\" Hoyer said of Republicans.

So while I was en route to Glasgow, a creepy member I work with who fundraises for Neo-Nazi groups shared a fantasy video of him killing me

And he'll face no consequences bc @GOPLeader cheers him on with excuses.

Fun Monday! Well, back to work bc institutions don't protect woc https://t.co/XRnMAKsnNO

The resolution boots Gosar from the Oversight and Reform Committee, which he serves on alongside Ocasio-Cortez. It also removes him from the Committee on Natural Resources.

Late Monday night, Pelosi told reporters it was up to McCarthy to rein in and reprimand his conference members -- but Democrats, outraged over Gosar's behavior, insisted on a floor vote. On Tuesday, she deemed the resolution as an appropriate measure.

\"Why go after [Gosar]? Because he made threats, suggestions about harming a member of Congress...We cannot have members joking about murdering each other as well as threatening the president of the United States,\" Pelosi said.

Once a vote was imminent, Gosar on Tuesday seemed defiant, tweeting out a meme that says, \"God gives his hardest battles to his strongest soldiers.\"

Twenty-three members of Congress have formerly been censured for misconduct, according to a 2016 Congressional Research Service Report.

Former Rep. Charlie Rangel, D-N.Y., was the last member of Congress to be censured -- in December 2010 -- accused of nearly a dozen ethics violations.
