Carter, Sr. (D-LA) issued the following statement\u201d\n\n\u201cThe targeted shootings at the homes of Minnesota Senator Hoffman, Speaker Emerita Hortman, and their spouses are abhorrent acts of political violence \u2014 and an attack on the very core of our democracy.\n\n\u201cWe must say it plainly: there is no place for violence \u2014 ever \u2014 in American politics.\n\n\u201cDisagreements are part of our democratic process. But resorting to threats, intimidation, or violence to settle political or ideological differences is both dangerous and fundamentally un-American. These acts are designed to instill fear, suppress voices, and undermine the institutions we are sworn to uphold.\n\n\u201cI stand with my colleagues in Minnesota and offer prayers for the victims, their families, and all who have been impacted. And I call on every leader \u2014 regardless of party \u2014 to unequivocally denounce this escalating climate of political violence.\n\n\u201cLet us remain vigilant, protect one another, and recommit ourselves to the democratic principles that unite us \u2014 even when we disagree.\n\n\u201cViolence cannot, and will not, define who we are as a nation.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T01:08:28Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://troycarter.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-troy-carter-statement-minnesota-shootings-targeting-lawmakers"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.8858560360968113, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
