House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy says he called Rep. Paul Gosar last week over a controversial anime clip posted to his Twitter account.

McCarthy said he called Gosar about the clip, which featured him killing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and assaulting President Joe Biden. While the California Republican did not explicitly condemn the clip, he said Gosar said he wasn’t advocating violence against the elected leaders.
