Far too many of our representatives are not taking the threat to their lives seriously enough.

The positions they are currently putting themselves in is unacceptable, in my opinion.

I know that we will soon be losing a congressperson. Right wingers have been all frothed up and our representatives are putting themselves out there with very little protection.

On days like today my fear is even greater. These groups on the right are organized. Today, a lot of our people were publicly accessible at the same time.

I know we are about to lose one of ours to right wing extremism. I view it as a given considering the access our elected representatives are giving to them. My greater fear is losing multiple at the same time on a day like today.

When I hear about one of our representatives being assassinated at a public event the last thing I will be is shocked. No one should be. The cake has been baked.
