(AZ-04) issued the following statement in response to the gross mischaracterization of a short anime video produced by his office:\n\n\u201cI do not espouse violence or harm towards any Member of Congress or Mr. Biden. The video depicts the fight taking place next week on the House floor and symbolizes the battle for the soul of America when Congress takes up Mr. Biden\u2019s massive $4 trillion spending bill that includes amnesty for millions of illegal aliens already in our country and was not meant to depict any harm or violence against anyone portrayed in the anime. This video is truly a symbolic portrayal of a fight over immigration policy.\n\nCongresswoman Cortez, whose image is shown in the fictional anime, represents the Democrats\u2019 open border amnesty agenda included in the Build Back Better Plan. As a proud member of the open border caucus, she continues to defend and fight for these dangerous, immigration policies. By her own words, Congresswoman Cortez referred to the Customs and Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement as \u201crogue agencies that act to inflict harm on our communities\u201d and sought to defund these agencies. The depiction of Mr. Biden pertains to his administration\u2019s decision to leave the border open while illegal aliens invade from all points.\n\nA chaotic and lawless wind is blowing across our land. Because of Joe Biden\u2019s open border policies, our southern border in being invaded by illegal aliens. 2.3 million lawbreakers will pour into the United States this year. These numbers do not include the hundreds of thousands of \u201cgotaways\u201d who have escaped into the heartland of our country and were never counted.\n\nOur country is suffering from the plague of illegal immigration. The cartoon depicts the symbolic nature of a battle between lawful and unlawful policies and in no way intended to be a targeted attack against Representative Cortez or Mr. Biden. It is a symbolic cartoon. It is not real life. Congressman Gosar cannot fly. The hero of the cartoon goes after the monster, the policy monster of open borders.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:30:49Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://gosar.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=4683"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7960288785398006, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
