CNN’s Brianna Keilar questioned Thursday whether rhetoric coming from the Democrats had anything to do with Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s potential assassin.
Speaking to Democratic Montana Sen. Jon Tester on “New Day,” Keilar asked for Tester’s reaction to the situation.
“It is absolutely unacceptable what transpired there,” Tester said. “Unfortunately, threats to public officials are happening far too often.”
“We have got to take this stuff very, very seriously. And folks need to be punished to the full extent of the law. Truth is, public service is very important in this country, and we can’t have intimidation that will prevent people from being able to serve this country in positions from school board to president of the United States and everything in between.”
Keilar asked Tester whether he believes “members of your own party be better when it comes to their rhetoric?” after Republicans blamed Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer for inciting violence for comments he made in 2020.
