Capitol Police and House officials briefed hundreds of D.C. lawmakers Wednesday morning. After a somber prayer for the victims and their families, several raised concerns that they feel increasingly vulnerable to violence as the political debate in the country becomes more heated by the day.
“A lot of members were asking for changes,” said Rep. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., after the meeting. “They want the ability to use campaign dollars to pay for security at their homes, increasing our budgets so we can be in secure locations because we can’t always rent places with good security. And people were also talking about death threats we are getting. Everyone is getting death threats right now.”
