A Republican congressman from Arizona touched off a social media uproar after he posted a doctored version of a popular anime with him attacking US President Joe Biden and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a New York Democrat.

Twitter Inc said that the post by Representative Paul Gosar violated “rules about hateful conduct” but that the company “has determined that it may be in the public’s interest for the tweet to remain accessible”.
