Statement

Date: Oct. 26, 2018
Issues: National Security

On October 26, 2018, Cesar Sayoc was arrested for his involvement in sending explosive devices to critics of the Trump Administration. In response, U.S. Congresswoman Joyce Beatty (OH-03) issued the following statement:

"After a distressing and disturbing week that saw multiple critics of the Trump administration become the target of political violence, a suspect is now in custody thanks to the hard work and dedication of first responders across the nation and the FBI. Like many, I am extremely troubled and shaken by the entire ordeal. Violence cannot be the answer. That is why I call on everyone to condemn these terror attacks and to return to civility to help heal our nation. Political differences aside, we are all Americans first and foremost."
