Regardless of where you fall on the political spectrum, the loss of a life to violence is a wound that cuts through us all. When a public figure is taken in such a way, it is not only a tragedy for their family and loved ones, but also a sobering reminder of the fragility of civil discourse in our country.
Today is a sad day in our history. Let it be a moment not to deepen our divides, but to reflect on the need for compassion, respect, and humanity across all political lines.
