Lawrence Jones III @LawrenceBJones3 - Last Saturday, we were informed that the state would be responsible for our protection, and we were prohibited from bringing our firearms as they had taken control of our security. Later that night, an assassin stormed the event, exposing the significant security lapses. However, something extraordinary occurred that night that I can’t shake off. The goalpost shifted. The night was deemed a success because the perpetrator failed to reach the president or the cabinet. What?! Look, I don’t believe what transpired on Saturday night at WHCD was the result of a massive conspiracy. I don’t think the law enforcement officers who rushed toward danger were not brave and honorable. Nevertheless, I refuse to accept that this was our best performance. Washington seems content with waiting for us all to move on to the next story. I refuse to move on. Our entire security apparatus demands scrutiny. How many times have we heard after a major casualty event that there were signs that were overlooked? Last Saturday night, they assured us that they had control, but they didn’t. And if you’re going to ask us to surrender our firearms, you better rise to the occasion. They did not.

Leader John Thune @LeaderJohnThune - It was great to see former Senator Pat Roberts for a long-overdue unveiling of his official @SenateAgGOP portrait.
I consider myself deeply fortunate to have served with him, and I can think of no one more deserving of having his time as Senate Agriculture chairman recognized.

Leader John Thune @LeaderJohnThune - Video: Border security and immigration enforcement are crucial functions of government. They are essential to maintaining public safety.
Democrats have opted not to fund them. At all.

Leader John Thune @LeaderJohnThune - Video: The events of Saturday night were horrifying. It is difficult to believe that this is the third time President Trump has faced an assassination attempt.
I am thankful for the many law enforcement officers who responded, in particular those who secured the shooter before he could harm the president or anyone else at the event.
Political violence is never the answer, and it must end.
