The resolution serves as both a tribute and a warning, underscoring the urgent need to end the dangerous, divisive rhetoric that fuels violence against public servants. The resolution condemns the multiple attempts against President Trump’s life, condemns those who incite violence against political officials, and honors the victims of the shooting. It also denounces the rising wave of violence against political leaders, highlighting incidents not only in Butler, but also the later assassination attempt on the president’s life in Florida. That day is a stark reminder that we must do everything we can to prevent political violence. The stability and future of our great nation are at stake,” Pfluger and Kelly wrote in an op-ed.
