1. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio:

   The overwhelming and vast majority of law enforcement officers in this country are just trying to do their jobs, it is troubling that there are groups and rhetoric out there now that is encouraging people to demonize law enforcement, to target law enforcement or in some cases, quite frankly, to misrepresent what law enforcement is trying to do.

2. Jonathan Fahey:

   It's kind of interesting how he's trying to walk this back now because he's running for election, trying to center himself to the middle, he was associated with groups, liked tweets and other stuff to show that he wanted ICE abolished and it's really just anti-ICE. He and others have been on this crusade to just take down ICE, demonize ICE agents in every single respect by calling them racists, delegitimizing what they're doing, and treating them like they're doing something heavy-handed, unlawful, when they're simply just doing their job, trying to keep our communities safe and our country safe. … It really is disgraceful.

3. Wednesday Biden:

   I certainly care what's in the bill. But ultimately, I think that's why people need to sit down and have conversations with each other.

5. Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney:

   I think candidates for office, particularly for president, should not demonize an entire group of Americans because of the actions of a violent criminal with a deranged view of what the Quran teaches -- and I also think it's particularly irresponsible to try and score political points off the attempted assassination of a Philadelphia police officer.
