WATCH: AOC complains that she wasn't allowed to call Rep. Paul Gosar a 'racist' on the House floor

After New York's Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez spoke on the floor of the US House of Representatives on Wednesday in favor of censuring Rep. Paul Gosar of Arizona, she complained to her Instagram viewers that she wasn't allowed to call him names on the House floor.

In her Instagram video, she linked Gosar to white supremacy, trans and homophobia, and misogyny, and then claimed that Gosar's "specialty is white supremacy with a minor in patriarchy."

AOC said that she "wanted to follow up briefly on what happened on the House floor today and to drive home some of the points of what I could not say." She assured viewers that she was not "censored," but only had five minutes to talk on the House floor. She would go on via Instagram like for more than 15 minutes.

"I spoke on the House floor with respect to Representative Gosar are posted a video of you know, where he depicted an animation of trying to kill me, about a week ago. And because the Republican party cannot bring themselves to say that depicting yourself killing a colleague is wrong and inappropriate, we had to bring a censure vote today, in which two members out of two Republican members out of hundreds had the actual wherewithal to say threatening violence and inciting violence against one's colleague is wrong," she said, and went on to "dig in a little bit deeper..."

"It's kind of an open question slash, generally unable to call someone racist on the House floor. Even if that person has fundraised for white supremacist organizations, as Representative Gosar has done, and you know, keynoted, and really engaged in open conversation and encouragement of white nationalism, white nationalist organizations, racism, or racist is seen as expressly an insult no matter how much evidence or embracing of racism there is," AOC said.

She was likely referring to a June fundraiser for Gosar, which was held along with Nick Fuentes, an America First conservative who has also made claims disputing the facts of the Holocaust. In his defense, Gosar said "I’ll say this: there are millions of Gen Z, Y and X conservatives. They believe in America First. They will not agree 100% on every issue. No group does. We will not let the left dictate our strategy, alliances and efforts. Ignore the left." Gosar had also spoken at an America First event in February at which Fuentes spoke as well.

"It is kind of marked," AOC went on to say, "and can be challenged as engaging in personalities on the House floor, aka insulting somebody. So there's a lot to a racist and a white nationalist targeting a young woman of color for a depiction of violence that you're really not allowed to discuss, or you kind of have to beat around the bush on nationally."

AOC brought up nihilism, saying that it's "this idea that nothing matters," and the contention that Gosar's anime was "just a joke," and that this is "really connected in very concrete ways to white supremacist ideology. So when you think about white supremacy, white supremacy is a system of beliefs in I would say, let's call it myth, mythology, or an ideology of essentially a person being born of superior value, intellect, etc."

She went on to say that "Gosar's specialty is white supremacy with a minor in patriarchy. And, and the thing about being a supremacist, white supremacist, misogynist, whatever it may be, the thing about being a supremacist is that your entire identity, by definition, is relative, is that your entire sense of self-worth is based on who you think you are better than. Whether it's classism or racism or patri— you know, misogyny, whatever that may be. Your whole identity and sense of self-worth is based on who you are better than," she said, saying Gosar was not only a white supremacist but a misogynist.

She then went on to say that he also defined himself through "denigrating non-binary, femme, or trans people." She said that Gosar also denigrated native peoples, immigrants, black people, Asians, queer people, the working class, the poor, and "non-white communities" as a means to uphold his sense of self-worth.

"I just want to make sure that you all know that that connection is explicit and clear," she would go on to say, linking her perception of Gosar's sense of self-worth to nihilism. AOC said she had "I actually have compassion and deeply pity people like them."

AOC intoned her need to employ hired private security in order to go to the grocery store and that people are "now trying to kill" her "because of something someone else said publicly as a joke."

After her speech from her car in sight of the Capitol building, she said "So I'm just wanted to leave you all with that, because that's what couldn't say on the House floor." And she urged people to vote against Republicans in the 2020 midterms, saying that they would "target members of Congress, they will target women, they will target women of color, they will target people of color, they will target whoever they want to target in order to minimize democratic power, small d power and then they will try to equate these things. They will try to equate their hurt feelings with their attempts to incite violence actually incite violence."

AOC and her colleagues have been no strangers to calling for actual violence. AOC claimed that crime spikes in New York were just "shoplifting," despite that crime leaving children in minority neighborhoods dead from gun violence. Though she has called for police to be defunded, AOC has spent thousands on personal security.

In 2019, AOC said during a radio interview "Once you have a group that is marginalized," Ocasio-Cortez said while discussing conflicts in Israel, "Once someone doesn't have access to clean water, they have no choice but to riot."

"I'm not even talking about Palestinians," she followed up. "I'm talking about communities in poverty in the United States, I'm talking about Latin America, I'm talking about all over the world." She went on to say that "social destabilization is what happens when people do not have a plan or feel like there's no vision for their future."

It was on Wednesday that a final vote of 223 to 207 removed Gosar from both of his committees, the House Committee on Natural Resources and the House Committee on Oversight and Reform. The reason for this was an anime video that Gosar posted to social media last week.

In that video, Gosar's face, as well as the faces of other Republican Representatives, were photoshopped onto the face of cartoon characters appearing to attack a character representing Ocasio-Cortez.

Before the House, AOC had slammed Gosar's support from his party "What I believe is unprecedented is for a member of House leadership of either party, to be unable to condemn incitement of violence against a member of this body is sad. It is a sad day in which a member who leads a political party in the United States of America cannot bring themselves to say that issuing a depiction of murdering a member of Congress is wrong and instead decides to venture off into a tangent about gas prices and inflation. What is so hard?"

"What is so hard about saying that this is wrong? This is not about me. This is not about Representative Gosar. But this is about what we are willing to accept not just the Republican leader, but I've seen other members of this party advance the argument, including Representative Gosar himself, the illusion that this was just a joke," she continued.

Democrats had previously removed Georgia's Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from her committees, and also pulled Reps. Jim Banks (Indiana) and Jim Jordan (Ohio) from Pelosi's January 6 committee.
