The Race for District 3: Joe Kent

Published | Video Starts at 05:14

And I Think right now we've had our government lie to us on so many different fronts that there's a lack of trust that the American people have with our institutions. And this is where Congress plays a really, really critical role. Congress should have a full investigation, just like we had... after the assassination attempt on President Reagan and the assassination of President Kennedy. This needs to be fully adjudicated. It needs to be fully investigated. I'm not drawing any other conclusion other than, hey, there's some really glaring questions right now as to why that obvious building wasn't secured, how the shooter got a rifle up there.
