We are at a moment right now where this uptick in political violence and politically motivated attacks is definitely concerning.

Sen. Lee and I had a good discussion, and I’m very glad he took it down.

I was glad that I had a chance to speak with him directly. I’m also glad that he took those posts down.

I don’t know whether Sen. Lee thought fully through what it was, you’d have to ask him, but I needed him to hear from me directly what impact I think his cruel statement had on me, his colleague.

Violence has no place in American politics.

I wanted him to know how much pain that caused me and the other people in my state.

I think we're at a tipping point.

I wanted him to know how much pain that caused me.

I think too often in the Senate, we talk to one another through other people.

It was a terrible thing to do, and I wanted him to know how I felt about it—how devastating it was to see.

I told him that I thought it was brutal and cruel. He should think about the implications of what he’s saying and doing.

Melissa Hortman was the core of who our values were.

The capture of Vance Boelter in a sparsely populated area capped a 'two-day manhunt' and 'two sleepless nights.'

Hortman's death a political assassination.

That's 48 hours that law enforcement [was] involved in a complex and dangerous manhunt, spent Father's Day away from their families to deliver justice for Melissa and Mark Hortman, and their children, who spent this Father's Day alone.

You can rest assured that we will put every ounce of effort that the state of Minnesota has to make sure that justice is served and the individual responsible for this serves the time for the unspeakable act.

I confronted Republican Sen. Mike Lee about his 'cruel' social media posts.
