My heart goes out to her, but this is an irresponsible thing to say. Who are the “evildoers” who killed her husband? Who is the “they?” A 22yr old man from Utah shot & killed her husband. We don’t yet know why. Anyone using “they,” as in they” killed Charlie, is inciting division & hate. It’s wrong.

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"
