Dem, GOP campaign chiefs call for unity in aftermath of mail bombs, synagogue shooting
By Brett Samuels - 10/28/18 10:08 AM EDT
The congressmen leading the Democratic and Republican House campaign arms each called for unity on Sunday, and said a recent burst of violence should not be politicized in the final days before the midterm elections.
Reps. Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.) and Steve Stivers (R-Ohio), who chair the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and National Republican Congressional Committee, respectively, said on "Fox News Sunday" that politicians should work to unify the country in the wake of a deadly shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue and a spate of bomb threats against prominent critics of President Trump.
"No one should be politicizing what happened this week," Luján said.
"We should come together as a country," he added. "This should not be a political response, but rather a response at how we can further bring us together."
