Republicans Need To Speak Up Against Political Violence

  • Monday, June 16, 2025

Rep. Fleischmann,

I am sure you remember when a left wing Bernie Sanders supporter opened fire on you and wounded Republican baseball players. The Democrats, including Sanders and many other Dems, condemned the violence. I hope it made you feel some warmth and appreciation for your fellow representatives from across the aisle. 

Why do you not return the decency for the state representatives murdered in a political assassination on Saturday? Remember, do unto others, and love thy neighbor.   

Don’t worry about what to say because your party will guide you with another lame statement about not knowing anything about it or you're waiting for more information. 

Dems responded the same day as your incident without knowing anything but the violence done.

You and your party need to speak up against political violence for our country and civility.
