My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social, @bobbyscott.house.gov, @beyer.house.gov, @mcclellan.house.gov, @repvindman.bsky.social, @repsuhas.bsky.social, and Representative Walkinshaw condemning political violence:

“The rise in political violence—which has inflicted tragedy upon the families of Republican activist Charlie Kirk and Minnesota’s House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman, a Democrat, and her husband Mark, and many other Americans on both sides of the aisle—is disturbing and unacceptable. We are unified in our condemnation of these attacks. It is critical to the safety of all Americans and the health of our democracy that we are able to approach our political differences with respect and without resorting to violence.”

The attack on Charlie Kirk is reprehensible. Political violence is never acceptable or justified under any circumstances.

Civil rights protections should be used as a shield against discrimination, not a sword to cut down others' rights. Instead of strengthening civil rights enforcement, the Trump Administration uses it as a sword to undermine institutions' independence. www.youtube.com/live/Wj7Zay2...
