"There's no place for political violence. We're we're all thankful. The secret Service was able to address, this latest incident. And there's no place for political violence on any side.

"When I talked about telling the truth and being honest, they need to be honest about the 2020 election. They need to be honest and ensure, and push back against people who stand at podiums with microphones and say that the press is a threat to democracy. They need to push back on on that."

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Rep. Pete Aguilar, (D) California, Democratic Caucus Chair:
"It's just pretty hard to take a lecture., you know, on this issue from those folks, especially Mike Johnson, who was an architect of the legal, side of, delaying the counting of ballots on on January 6th. So, but House Democrats are are completely on the same page that there is no place for political violence. We will not encourage it. We will not support it. We will push back into it every time. But we will also push back against the lies that are told in an election season."

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Rep. Pete Aguilar, (D) California, Democratic Caucus Chair:
"Members are going to vote in the best interest of their districts. But our message to them is uniform, that the SAFE act has no business being as part of the CR. This is not going to become law. This is Republican theatrics. That are meant to appease the most extreme members of their conference to show them that, that they're working on on something. And that they're continuing to support the president, the former president of the United States, in his bid to demonize, immigrants. So that's what this is. That's what this is about."

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Rep. Jahana Hayes, (D) Connecticut:
"I was just say it also goes against what Republicans themselves negotiate it as top lines in the budget. We made good faith efforts very early in the year to have robust discussions about all of these issues. So to have a CR, a six month CR right now, when we're two weeks away from government funding expiring, that has all of these poison pills, just reinforces the idea that they don't want to govern. They are not trying to govern for the American people. And these provisions in this, continuing resolution are harmful to the most vulnerable people that we represent."
