Rep. Shontel Brown, D-Ohio, questioned Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle in a House Oversight hearing Monday on the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump at a July 13 campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Brown opened her remarks by saying that political violence is unacceptable in the United States.
“As someone who has known gun violence firsthand, no one should have to experience the pain of losing a loved one to weapons of war,” Brown said.
“We all must work to condone political violence and tone down the rhetoric,” she added.
