alexander hamilton did not serve in the house of representatives. you had instances sometimes especially in the late 18th and early 19th centuries where they went after cabinet officials and private citizens. that was the censure then. the constitution is clear that that -- congress can sanction its own members in the house and senate. that's what happened today. this goes on paul gosar's permanent record. something that will be in his obituary, same with charlie rangel ten years ago, december 2 of 2010. that's when he was censured. again, this doesn't happen very often. prior to that you have to go back to the 1980s to find a member that was censured. three in the last 40 years, neil. >> neil: if he's re-elected, does the censure carry on? >> yeah. it's on your record. the key thing there is even if democrats let's say -- let's say democrats hold on to the house. they could make a decision to allow him to serve on committees, this is the bridge too far that a lot of members on the republican side of the aisle thought was different about this censur

he wanted to mention alexander hamilton. we used to have duals in this country where people settled supposed political disputes through violence. i know i'm having issue with david's audio so i'm just going to ask you this final question, matthew. because i don't see how -- where this goes. if the republicans take over the house, i don't see where the limit will be because they'll know that they are just one presidential election away from full autocracy and there is almost nothing they won't do. their third in charge said he's david duke without the baggage and they promoted him after that. >> well, to me, every day i thought it can't get worse, it gets worse and i thought 2020 was the most important election in my lifetime and i've been doing this 40 years. i actually think 2022 is more important because after everything that happened in the aftermath of 2020 it's gotten worse since donald trump left office. it's gotten worse. if they get away and take power in that after all of that, it's only going to be extended further

not even alexander hamilton. my favorite founder is john adams. some say adams is my favorite founder because he is cranky and slightly overweight. i think those are wonderful attributes. but that's not why love adams. he was the heartbeat of the revolution. adams was this person who stood on the floor the continental congress day after day and said it would only be independence that brought the people of this continent true freedom, true liberty, true happiness. he was shouted down day after day by colleagues from all over the country. from pennsylvania and south carolina, from georgia and new york, he kept getting up every day and saying it. it was because of the will of people like john adams and his wife abigail that this country came into being. four years later, after adams had served as an ambassador, after he served as vice president, he was back in retirement writing for his diary and he said he was writing this for posterity. he was writing it for us, for all of us, people he would never know. but the dream could exist in the country he

gosar, you are not alexander hamilton. you must be held accountable. >> representative gosar refusing to take any responsibility. instead he likens his censure to hamilton, who the congress did censure over allegations regarding how he handled funds at the treasury department. the comparison is especially odd, because hamilton engaged in a lawless duel that famously resulted in his own death. he was killed in that duel, one of the most prominent political violence run amok in the era. it doesn't matter much if he does. what matters is that the congress and the public and our democracy realize the political violence is real. it tends to spike in periods where there is intention or reckless polarization, and obvious in conjunction with clashes in american over races and civil rights. where are we right now for facing both those challenges in our body politic? today it was really on display among republicans who stuck with gosar on the vote. 99% of house republicans backed him and voted against censure, only two voted to censu

he said it wasn't threatening and compared himself to alexander hamilton >> if i must join alexander red by this house, so be it. it is done >> in a statement, he called it a symbolic cartoon, not real life he has not apologized, and said he took it down out of compassion for those who were offended after expulsion, censure is considered the harshest form of punishment in the house. congressman gosar is only the 24th member ever to be censured. >>> the ceo of the video game giant activision blizzard facing new pressure tonight to resign it comes after a bombshell story from "the wall street journal. the paper reports bobby kotick knew about sexual accusations at the company but failed to inform board members. the journal reports that he intervened to keep an executive on staff after a woman accused that employee of sexual harassment more than 100 workers protested yesterday at the company studio. several executives and a group of shareholders are now also calling for kotick to step down. in a statement to cnbc, an activision spokesperson said -- >> let's bring in "the wall street jour
