00:00Well, let me say, first off, I welcome the statement. It's a correct statement. We simply cannot allow or stand by while people in the midst of protests assault law enforcement officers.
00:16It's one of the reasons I thought the president was wrong to pardon people who assaulted police officers on January 6th.
00:22But look, this is a time when, you know, we're in the wake of not only those events of four years ago, but we've seen political violence against against Jewish peaceful protesters.
00:35We saw two assassination attempts against President Trump on the campaign trail.
00:40We saw the governor of Pennsylvania's home attacked and then that despicable attack that claimed the lives of the Minnesota state-led representative Hortman, her husband, and injured two of her colleagues.
00:55Our prayers are with them.
00:56But this is a moment when we need to make it very clear that anyone who would ever use violence, whether it be against law enforcement or political violence of any kind, must be condemned universally, and people need to be held to the strictest account of the law.
