Amy Klobuchar and Chuck Schumer Discuss Senator Lee's Response to Violence-Related Tweets

Published | Video Starts at 00:43

For many, Melissa Hortman and her husband were beloved. Republicans in our state have come out very strong against this violence. And in fact, Congressman Emmer and I led a bipartisan statement of every single member of our delegation decrying this violence, calling it politically motivated and saying there's no place for this in our politics. So Senator Lee and I had a good discussion, and I'm very glad he took it down. And I also thank my colleague, Senator Smith, for also speaking out on this. (00:43–00:57)
