Jean-Pierre: Calling the Border Invasion a ‘Bloodbath’ Is ‘Violent Rhetoric’ that ‘Puts Our Fellow Americans in Harm’s Way’

‘We have to denounce any violent rhetoric that we hear’

EXCERPT:

JEAN-PIERRE: “I’m going to be really mindful here, because it is — the president — obviously, the former president is also a candidate here, so want to follow the law, with the Hatch Act, but we have to denounce. Our response is we have to denounce any violent rhetoric that we hear, certainly from our leaders, right, that tears our country apart. It could tear our country apart. And puts our fellow Americans in harm’s way, in danger, so we have to denounce that. And look, I think, and we think that the American people want to see the country coming together. That’s what they want. They want to — they want to make sure that we respect our democracy.”
