A Call To 'Protect The Protestors', As Law Enforcement Feels Increasingly Threatened

A House Homeland Security Committee hearing turned tense as lawmakers clashed over the source and impact of violent rhetoric toward law enforcement. Democrats focused on January 6th and ICE conduct, while Republicans and union officials warned that rising threats, including last week’s fatal shooting of two National Guard soldiers in Washington, D.C., show officers are facing unprecedented danger . Colorado Congressman and former police officer Gabe Evans joins the Rundown to discuss why he believes there are consequences to this rhetoric and how it's affecting recruitment, safety, and public trust. Democrats are saying they have reason to celebrate too, even after Republican Matt Van Epps won Tuesday’s special congressional election in Tennessee. That’s because his opponent, Democrat State Rep.
