Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) doubled down on the Republican National Committee's (RNC) decision to host their national convention in Milwaukee despite former President Trump's recent reported comments on the city.
"With respect to Milwaukee, he was talking about allegations of voter fraud and also the crime rate, and I think it's important for people to understand, your murder rate may be down, but that doesn't mean that violent crime, etc., are also lower," Donalds said on NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday.
He also said that the RNC and Trump are headed to Milwaukee because voters are "frustrated." |

Rep. Tom McClintock (R-Calif.) criticized the tactics of far-right lawmakers who say their Republican colleagues, rather than working within the confines of Congress, should be willing to "burn it down" to fight for conservative principles. "The tactics that they're using aren't advancing those principles. They're an impediment to those principles," McClintock said on NewsNation's "The Hill Sunday," when asked about those who would instead "burn it down" than work within the system.

Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) said he respected the Supreme Court's decision last week to overturn a Trump-era prohibition on bump stocks.
"The job is simply this, so we trust and believe and respect the decision of the Supreme Court. What we need to focus on, Jon, is the violence that we're seeing across this nation. Under Joe Biden, we've seen the greatest increase in violent crime in my lifetime. So focusing on ways for us to reduce that crime means getting four more years of Donald Trump," he told ABC's Jonathan Karl on "This Week." |

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) said he will not attend Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's joint address to Congress, joining several other Democrats who have also vowed to boycott the speech.
"I will not attend that. I said that it if he wants to come to speak to members of Congress about how to end the war and release hostages, I would be fine doing that. But I'm not going to sit in a one way lecture," he said on NBC's "Meet the Press." |

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) said that legislation enshrining the Trump-era ban on bump stocks "treads close to the line" of violating the Second Amendment following the Supreme Court reversal of that prohibition on Friday.
"On the legislative question, I would suggest before we infringe on the rights of law-abiding American citizens, we should crack down on violent crime, gun crimes," Cotton said on CNN's "State of the Union." |

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) called the Supreme Court "brazenly corrupt and brazenly political" as he defended President Biden over reports that he described the high court as "out of kilter" during a fundraiser this weekend.
In an interview on CNN's "State of the Union," Murphy said it is "absolutely" appropriate for Biden to criticize the court. |
