You have a woman who aimed her car at a law enforcement officer and pressed on the accelerator.

Nobody debates that.

I can believe that her death is a tragedy.

while also recognizing that it's a tragedy of her own making and a tragedy of the far left who has marshaled an entire movement, a lunatic fringe, against our law enforcement officers.

I think what is clearly happening here, and it's going to keep on happening unless the Democrats wake up and say, you know what, you don't have to agree with our immigration policies.

You don't have to agree with what the president or the vice president believe about immigration enforcement.

But why don't you take this to the ballot box?

Why don't you vote?

Why don't you organize?

What some of them are doing is encouraging people to get violent with our law enforcement officials.

It's disgraceful and it's got to stop.
