Letter: Humor lacking in Republican video

On Nov. 17, the House of Representatives voted to reprimand a member from Arizona. Outrageous! All he did was post an animated video of him killing another House member and attacking our president with swords. Hahahaha! That is so Republican funny. Why some woman from New York with a Hispanic name can’t see the humor in her being killed escapes them. Republicans are proud for my taxes to support this effort by the farce from Arizona.

This cartoon is very revealing because our representative voted to defend this “humor.” She defended a video showing a violent and lethal stabbing of a female Hispanic representative as funny and/or harmless. If Jaime Herrera Beutler’s likeness replaced the slain member in the same video, would that be acceptable to be posted? Would it be funny?
