Rep. Martha McSally: I’ve Never Seen Divisiveness and Hatred Like This in My Lifetime

‘Somehow we’re going against each other right now’

EXCERPT:

McSALLY: “I also represent Arizona's second congressional district. Gabby Giffords previously represented this area. We went through this in 2011 when there was an attempt on her life and congressional staffer Gabe Zimmerman, the room is named after him here, the first staffer killed in the line of duty. Friends with my staff who worked for Gabby Giffords. We as a community know what it’s like to go through this. I have been here for two and a half years, and the divisiveness and the hatred, the tone and the temperature that’s going on right now is like I’ve never seen in my lifetime. I put my life on the line for 26 years against the enemies that are out there, that are abroad, that are seeking to kill us and we unite together in order to protect America and somehow we’re going against each other right now.”
