When Officer Kendall Corder was killed, we suffered another savage murder in Milwaukee. When I was a child, Milwaukee was the safest of the 25 biggest cities in this country. We have gone a long way from that. I hope this House addresses…

it is hard to believe that not even 7 weeks have gone by since Charlie Kirk was savagely murdered in Utah. I am, quite frankly, a little bit disappointed at the degree to which I do not feel that this body is doing enough to memorialize…
