Politician
Aug. 12, 2019
Tweet - "4 more people were killed by gun violence in Chicago this weekend, including a 16-year-old boy. 43 others were injured, including an 8-year-old girl. Gun violence is devastating our communities on a weekly basis. What is Leader McConnell waiting for? The Senate must act."

Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 7, 2019
