    Freedom of the press is not only a vital part of the First Amendment, it is an important part of democracy. It’s no coincidence that prosperous and free countries also have a free press. Praying for the victims at the Capital Gazette, their families, & the Annapolis community.

        Then please denounce @POTUS treatment of the press and media. Just because you may not agree with a story or angle doesn’t make it fake or false. He is inciting this violence with his dangerous rhetoric

        Thank you. Free press is vital and journalists are not enemies. Please speak out when our President does attack the press. You know it is not right and is very, very destructive on many levels.

        Why are you not protecting the country, the Press, ACA, fair tax reform, laws & order? You're praying for the families at The Gazette while you do nothing to truly stop mass killings in the country. Congratulations you're a true politician. Civilly yours

        Everytime Trump attacks the press you need to call him out. You and the rest of Congress.

        Not good enough. You cannot get away with saying you wouldn't use the words Trump uses. You can't deflect and pretend that the toxic and dangerous speech from the leader of your party is not only unacceptable it is un American. You're a Senator be a patriot before it is 2 late

        Unfortunately, the GOP and esp OK's reps have shown America they're not patriots. They work only for Trump/Putin, special interests, and money, not their constituents.

        Now this man acquired a field with the reward of his wickedness, and falling headlong he burst open in the middle and all his bowels gushed out. Act 1:18 Pastor Langford knows God can’t abide no traitors. Maybe his faith in Trump is greater than in Christ?

        Please condemn your president every time he calls the press the enemy of the people. Bad press isn't fake press.

        That is the very issue. Your leader has been threatening the media & press for years. He called them the "enemy of the American people" twice in the past weeks. You stayed silent. Their deaths will be tied to the threats of Trump & his allies; you are complicit. #LankfordLies

        We're looking for one person, one Republican, to do what's right and tell the emperor he's naked. Just one to start that fire. Be the leader and see your political career blossom. Support the press and the telling of the truth. You can do it.

        Your President, who you support, has incited violence against journalists since he started running for President. Call him out directly when he does it
