this past weekend marked 1 year since the attempt on President Trump's life in Butler County, Pennsylvania. While we thank God that President Trump's life was not taken, we mourn the loss of an innocent father, firefighter, and proud Pennsylvanian, Corey Comperatore. Political violence of any kind has absolutely no place in our society. Yet, the violent rhetoric coming from my colleagues across the aisle has not stopped. Now, a year after the assassination attempt on President Trump's life, they have turned their violent action toward our courageous ICE agents, who work every day to protect our communities. The political violence that we are seeing in our society today will not stop unless the violent rhetoric stops. One life lost to political violence is one too many. I ask my colleagues to remember that, regardless of our political beliefs, violence is never the answer to our Nation's problems.
