State Rep. James Talarico: "We've got to do things very differently as Democrats. That's why I went on Rogan. That's why I broke quorum. That's how I flipped a Trump district. That's how we'll finally break through in Texas."
Attorney General Ken Paxton: "Talarico is Beta O'Rourke 2.0. He's [a] left-wing lunatic obsessed with distorting Christianity to put boys in girls' sports. It's sick and twisted."
Rep. Dan Crenshaw: "God bless Charlie Kirk, I can't believe what I'm hearing right now. I've known Charlie since 2018. *His first son just turned one. His daughter is only 4.* I don't care how much you hate his opinions or rhetorical tactics, this is the most despicable act of hate imaginable. Praying for him and his family and hoping this assassin is served the most severe of justice."
Rep. Jasmine Crockett: "Today's act of political violence in Utah against Charlie Kirk is absolutely disgusting and unacceptable. We don't have to agree on everything, but we should all agree on this: political violence is wrong, and has no place in our democracy."
