If this man Pete runs for POTUS 2024 his last name is going to be ripped to shreds, I can already picture the political cartoons and slanderous press now. Good luck with your mental health after that.

I think he would make a fairly good president. I would definitely vote for him over Trump or Biden.

I think he would make a fairly good president. I would definitely vote for him over Trump or Biden. His last name is a little too hard to pronounce though.

How does this man not have any scandals. He’s to pure for a politician. It’s eerie.

He sounds like Dean Phillips, probably will stay in for a few months then back out. However for me personally his ideals and politics are more palatable than President Biden’s. All of a sudden these unknown democrats are coming out of the woodwork because the DNC has lost faith in the president. The country needs change, and it needs it now!

I like the idea of this guy, but trawling through his stances he supports extreme spending when we're already in a crisis of deficit. I'm not sure where he thinks the money is going to come from. Just taxing the rich and small businesses is not going to lower our costs...

Again, I really like the idea. But I don't see how the practice would pan out.

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”
