    United States Capitol Police saved my life. Attacks on law enforcement officers trying to do their jobs are never acceptable. Period. We can passionately protest without being violent.

    Violent rhetoric helps radicalize people. Republicans and Democrats alike must have the moral clarity to call this language out whenever it is spoken, not only when it comes from the other side of the political aisle. From

    I lost two legs for 's right to say whatever the hell he wants, but that free speech also protects the Republicans he is so eager to condemn for asking Constitutional questions about the election.

    Rep. : "I've seen the dark evil of political violence firsthand. And it needs to stop. But all of us need to be unequivocal in calling it out every single time we see it. Not just when it comes from the other side of the aisle."

    Thank you for this great op-ed. I agree, we all must always condemn political violence and violent rhetoric, and not just when it fits our politics. Both the riots over the summer and the attack on the Capitol last week were wrong.

    America settles its differences through debate and democracy, not mob rule and violence. Republicans and Democrats must come together and resist the urge to throw fuel on the fire.

    I reject the notion that Wednesday’s attack was justifiable or that antifa led the mob into the Capitol. I also reject the notion that the mob’s actions represent the motivations of the millions of Americans who voted for President Trump or the Republican Party.

    Both the politically-motivated gunman who shot me on a baseball field and the anarchists who rioted at the Capitol were radicalized by extreme rhetoric. It would be naive to think that either of these actions occurred in a vacuum.

    Elected officials and the media have a responsibility to condemn political violence and violent rhetoric across the board. Selectively condemning it sends a message that cruelty and destruction in the name of political agendas will be celebrated. We must end this dangerous idea.

    I am still outraged by the domestic terrorism we saw at the Capitol last week, and I condemned it immediately. Many Democrats who were rightfully quick to condemn last week’s events were noticeably silent over the summer as Americans watched cities go up in flames.

    THREAD: This is the second time in three years I have seen political violence firsthand. Republicans and Democrats alike must have the moral clarity to call out violent rhetoric whenever it's spoken, not just when it’s politically convenient.

    Back in the Capitol. Thank you to Capitol Police and every brave law enforcement officer who fought back to restore control. Violence has no place in politics. America is and will remain the greatest Nation on earth. We will defend it and pass it on to our children, and theirs.
