“I just again want to thank Dr. Rayle for his heroism and for his being there with Gabby in the first possible moments. We owe him our gratitude, and everyone else who worked so hard to make sure that people were safe as quickly as possible at that scene. And I echo the remarks of my earlier colleague, Dana Rohrabacher. I hope this all reminds us to think about how we speak, to think about how we speak with each other, how we conduct our business, and how we move forward. This is a solemn week. We will have many solemn weeks ahead of us, and we have a lot of work to do.”
