Tweet - "In a democracy it takes a free press to hold politicians of both parties accountable. That's their job and we have to respect it. When we start telling folks that they are fake or don't pay attention to them, that discredits an important part of America's democracy."

Gun Violence
Rep. Robin Kelly
Nov. 5, 2018
