Dem Rep. Crow: I Reject ‘Some Sense of a False Equivalency’ that Violent Rhetoric Is Coming Equally from Both Sides
EXCERPT:
CROW: “There are instances of rhetoric that I have disagreed with, and I have called my own colleagues out when and if that happens. But what I do reject is some sense of a false equivalency that somehow this is coming equally from both sides. You know, I condemn this violence across the board. I will call it out, whether it‘s Democrat or Republican. But at the same time, I have an obligation as an elected official to call out things, bad things that are happening in this country that are inconsistent with our values, that are threatening my constituents and me as an elected official, as the voice of my constituents in Colorado. I cannot stop doing that. I have to do that responsibly, and I have to be very clear with folks that when I‘m engaged in political debate, sometimes that‘s fiery debate, that that is what we are doing, and we are condemning political violence.”
