  Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that political 
 violence, violent speech, and inciteful language have no place in our 
          political discourse and should be wholly condemned.

Whereas political violence in America is never acceptable;
Whereas political will of Americans is expressed at the ballot box through 
        secure and safe elections;
Whereas it is the duty of the House of Representatives to condemn all forms of 
        political violence in the United States of America; and
Whereas the following calls for political violence have been ignored and not 
        condemned by the Democratic Party or the House of Representatives:

    ``When they go low, we kick 'em. That's what this new Democratic Party 
is about.''--Former United States Attorney General Eric Holder;

    ``Let's make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. And if you 
see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a 
gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on 
them. And you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere. We've got to 
get the children connected to their parents.''--Congresswoman Maxine 
Waters;

    ``I will go and take Trump out tonight!''--Congresswoman Maxine Waters;

    ``People Will Do What They Do.''--Speaker Nancy Pelosi responding to 
violent mobs in America;

    ``There needs to be unrest in the streets for as long as there is 
unrest in our lives.''--Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley;

    ``Show me where it says that protests are supposed to be polite and 
peaceful.''--Chris Cuomo;

    ``If we were in high school I'd take him behind the gym and beat the 
hell out of him.''--President Joe Biden;

    ``They're still going to have to go out and put a bullet in Donald 
Trump. And that's a fact''--Rick Wilson;

    ``I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House,''--
Madonna; and

    ``I hope Trump is assassinated.''--Democratic State Senator Maria 
Chappelle-Nadal: Now, therefore, be it

    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that 
political violence, violent speech, and inciteful language have no 
place in our political discourse and should be wholly condemned.
