"I urge my colleagues to focus on the facts and use their power and influence to combat dangerous, deadly, far-right violence."

"I want to condemn the hateful violence we saw yesterday when two Congressional staffers... were beaten with a baseball bat while at work in Virginia for Congressman Gerald Connolly."
