WATCH: White House holds news briefing with Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo

The White House is condemning a video tweeted by Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar that included altered animation showing him striking Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez with a sword.

Watch the briefing in the player above.

Asked about Gosar’s video at the White House briefing Tuesday, deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the country “should be condemning” that type of violent speech.

“There is no place for for any type of violence or that type of language in the political system and it should not be happening,” she said.

The roughly 90-second video is an altered version of the Japanese anime series, Attack on Titan, interspersed with shots of Border Patrol officers and migrants at the southern U.S. border.

In one scene, Gosar’s character is seen striking the one made to look like Ocasio-Cortez in the neck with a sword.

Jean-Pierre also addressed a letter from a group of Senate Democrats urging President Joe Biden to either tap the Strategic Petroleum Reserve or place a ban on crude oil exports to help deal with high gas prices.

Jean-Pierre said the administration is “looking at all the tools” in its arsenal, and doing “everything that we can from here to address” the situation.

She wouldn’t say, however, whether the president is considering either of the options suggested by the lawmakers.

Regarding the future of an oil pipeline that carries Canadian oil across the U.S. Midwest and is the subject of rising tension over whether it should be shut down, Jean-Pierre said the U.S. and Canada will “engage constructively in those negotiations.”

“Canada is a close ally and a key partner in energy trade, as as well as efforts to address the climate crisis and protect the environment. These negotiations and discussions between the two countries shouldn’t be viewed as anything more than that than that, and certainly not an indicator that the U.S. government is considering shut down. That is something that we’re not going to do,” she said.

President Joe Biden is caught in a battle over Enbridge Energy’s Line 5, a key segment of a pipeline network.

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat and Biden ally, has demanded closure of the 68-year-old line because of the potential for a catastrophic rupture along a 4-mile-long (6.4-kilometer-long) section in the Straits of Mackinac, which connects Lake Huron and Lake Michigan.

Enbridge says that portion, divided into twin pipes across the lake bottom, has never leaked and is in good condition. The company rejected Whitmer’s order  to halt the flow of oil last May and filed a federal lawsuit, which is pending.

The Biden administration has not taken a position but is under increasing pressure to do so. Canada last month invoked a 1977 treaty that guarantees the unimpeded transit of oil between the two nations.
