Page 96 - Policy Differences News Today

A toxic environment and its terminal lot by the social media world. now that weve seen one of our own get hurt, whether its a democrat or republican, tragically injured, i think its a reality check for all of us in washington. replicants and democrats have to take inventory and say, we need to lead and ensure that the political rhetoric is not and a hateful way, that we focus on policy differences and not about attacking an individual or a party. >> harris: ive been in california the last few da...

Hateful, political rhetoric we see all over social media, news media in washington, in our state houses. this is -- we can argue about policy differences but we have to always realize that were americans first. lets settle our policies in a ballot box not on a baseball field like many of us had to witness yesterday. >> congressman also, as tragic as that was yesterday, as unsettling as it was -- and it took it to a whole different level. at the same time in california, three u.p.s. employees wer...

See on social media. what i saw yesterday was a lot of sympathy for those who were part of that attack. my friends on both sides of the aisle came up to me and said i texted you to make sure you were okay. i didnt have my phone. it was still in my bag on the field. to have them come up and know that friendship matter morse than policy and politics, those friendships mean more outside this building when we have our policy differences, too. >> rodney davis, thank you so much. tom brokaw, we want...

9/11 theres a season of unity in washington, d.c. that lasts for a while. but, you know, it happened just 24 hours ago. its 7:26 here in the east right now. it happened in the 7:00 hour. you know, how does it feel as a republican to know that in this particular case, you were targeted because youre a member of that political party? >> steve, its still kind of surreal to me. i see the video. thats been replayed over and over. and i heard it on the last interview that i did. it really sets the sta...

>> that unity theme very easy to find this day after as both republicans and democrats promise to think twice before escalating their words when debating policy differences. >> well, you know t kind of cut through all the nonsense we talk about every day and the rhetoric we deal with every single day and it became very, very human seeing them later in a suit and tie on the house floor. there was nothing left to do but give them a hug. there was nothing you could really say that would be adequate...

Time to put political differences aside. >> this rhetoric we see in todays society over policy differences has got to stop because if this is the reason why members of congress were shot at today, then today has to be the breaking point for both parties to say enoughs enough. lets not ratchet up the hateful speech. you see stories about policies are going to lead to the death of people. thats addition thats political rhetoric that has run amuck and turned into hate. it may be the reason why we s...

Day we had to stand not as democrats and republicans, but as americans. >> melissa: joining me now is democrat dan kilby, he will be playing in that game tonight. i imagine its going to be a nice moment of everyone pulling together. i think there are a lot of americans out there were skeptical and worried that that feeling of coming together is not going to last. >> i think thats good reason to be skeptical based on the past. i think we owe it to ourselves to make the effort and to try and to tr...

Game tonight, had a press conference yesterday. the democrats invited all the republicans to have dinner with them last night. i havent heard yet how many republicans took them up on that offer. >> you know, i wasnt able to go. so i dont have a count either. but just the shear fact that mike doyle the manager of the democrats made such a great gesture. it should show the american people that this game that we play for charity and raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for d.c. charities, this is...

>> and this afternoon, how has this hit you? >> you know, i think this is our time that we as americans have to take a step back and take a deep breath. as we see reports of this individual who unfortunately makes me nauseous, came from my home state of illinois, the pictures you see show that hes been engaged in politics and in policy and protesting. we cant let our policy differences tear this country apart with polarization. its up to us to say enough is enough. we can protest our differences...

>> tucker: [laughs] the chief lunch-haver! what i object to is the discrimination of policy differences. there are reasons to be against them, you are somehow bidding of vladimir putin. can you have a disagreement without being accused of treason? >> brit: of course you can. the people were raising these accusations dont really think anybody has committed treason. youre looking for ways to bring down donald trump and get out the people around him, thats what this is about and what its been about...
