In early November 2021, Gosar tweeted an edited cartoon video of a scene from anime series ''Attack on Titan'', humorously edited to depict him attacking an image of Joe Biden and slaying an evil witch portrayed as [[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez]].

{{cquote|...I do not espouse violence towards anyone. I never have. It was not my purpose to make anyone upset. I voluntarily took the cartoon down, not because it was itself a threat, but because some thought it was. Out of compassion for those who generally felt offense, I self-censored. Last week my staff posted a video depicting a policy battle regarding amnesty for tens of millions of illegal aliens. This is an enemy that speaks to young voters who are too often overlooked. Even Twitter, the left's mouthpiece, did not remove the cartoon, noting it was in the public's interest for it to remain the cartoon directly contributes to the understanding and the discussion of the real-life battle resulting from this administration's open border policies
