@cspanofficial: President Biden called on Americans to “lower the temperature” in politics in a Sunday evening address to the nation from the Oval Office, one day after the assassination attempt on former President Trump. “While we may disagree, we are not enemies. We’re neighbors, we’re friends, coworkers, citizens and most importantly, we’re fellow Americans. We must stand together,” he said. “A former president was shot. An American citizen was killed while simply exercising his freedom to support the candidate of his choosing. We cannot, we must not go down this road in America. We’ve traveled it before throughout history. Violence has never been the answer.” The president said political rhetoric has “gotten really heated” and that it was “time to cool it down,” stressing that Americans settle their political differences through the ballot box, “not with bullets.” “Disagreement is inevitable in American democracy. It’s part of human nature,” he said. “But politics must never be a literal battlefield and, God forbid, a killing field.” #potus #joebiden #ovaloffice #cspan
