Politician
June 9, 2020
Tweet - "Radical, left-wing, Democrat lawmakers want to defund the police. Without police, crime would go through the roof, & the most vulnerable in our society would have no one in an emergency. Police may need more resources, not fewer. We can never abandon those who protect us."
Sen. John Barrasso
June 9, 2020
Tweet - "To Mr. Gugino, we're praying for a speedy recovery for you and your family. Pres. Trump should go back to hiding in the bunker instead of tweeting baseless conspiracies about peaceful protestors and further dividing America. What are Senate Republicans going to do about this?"
Sen. Chuck Schumer
June 9, 2020
Tweet - "Americans are taking the streets, crying out for justice and policing reform. But President Trump appears too preoccupied trying to emulate Richard Nixon to even try to lead. Too preoccupied with his own political precariousness to even try to bring American together."
Sen. Chuck Schumer

Sen. Chuck Schumer
June 9, 2020
Tweet - "We should have bipartisan discussions about policies to hold our police officers to the highest standards, but extreme & irresponsible proposals like abolishing police (an idea so absurd it's difficult to believe anyone is seriously discussing it) don't move these talks forward."
Sen. John Thune
June 9, 2020
Tweet - "Racial justice, civil rights, a global pandemic and an economic disaster: these are not merely issues of the month but of this moment in American history. This is truly a time of historic challenge. And Senator Mitch McConnell is missing in action. The Senate must act!"
Sen. Chuck Schumer
June 9, 2020
Tweet - "Speech, assembly, and the free exercise of religion are all sacrosanct liberties. Mayors cannot play "red-light, green-light" with the First Amendment and cheer certain protests while selectively disadvantaging people of faith. The Bill of Rights is not an a-la-carte menu."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
June 9, 2020
