You know, I saw it in 2011 when Gabby got shot.

And I, you know, see it over and over and over again.

But I could tell you this, if we don't work to, you know, try to fix this, this could get a lot worse.

I think we're at a

a moment in our country's history a lot like it was in the 1960s how divided we were then and you saw rising political assassinations and this was a political assassination i mean we don't know the exact motivation of this person and we don't know how he got the gun or who he was yet uh i think we will find out those things out but i think it's clearly that this was political

Well, you know, I'm the son of two cops.

You know, these things are challenging.

I've also lived through this with, you know, my wife and investigation and, you know, her assailant or the guy that, you know, did this and killed six individuals was apprehended at the scene.

This is different.

It's complicated.

You know, the FBI and law enforcement took these two individuals into custody, questioned them, released them.

I could see how that could happen.

You know, when they have a suspect, they you know, they should be taking those kind of steps.

I don't give I don't fault them, you know, in any way for that.

You're going to see the full force of the FBI and federal law enforcement put on this.

And I'm confident that we will apprehend this individual.

yeah well and that's one of the reasons why you know folks in like my position and house members and governors you need to you know take a step back and see how you know what should we be doing at this point you know i'm trying to get out there and you know speak about this and you know what i think is a responsible way you know we're not you know pointing fingers here um but also recognizing that we have a problem

um and you know the problem is politicization and you you know just the kind of rhetoric you know that people use today and i think it's uh i think it's gotten worse over time and i've you know seen this from both democrats and republicans and um you know we've got to figure out a way through this and but we also can't ignore it um you know on this individual event

Yeah, you know, I think the FBI is going to figure this out and not none of these are exactly the same and they've got a hard job ahead of them.

But I have confidence in the FBI and local law enforcement there that they will they will handle this appropriately.
