'Political violence is a sickness': Elected officials worry that attacks will escalate

Published in Politics and Government on by Politico   Print publication without navigation

Republicans and Democrats said Saturday's killings in Minnesota were a chilling reminder of the threats they receive regularly.

The article from Yahoo News discusses the increasing incidents of political violence and threats against elected officials in the United States, highlighting a disturbing trend that has intensified since the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. It details specific cases, such as the attack on former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband, Paul Pelosi, and threats against other politicians like Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Arizona election officials. The piece also explores the psychological impact on those targeted, with many officials expressing fear and some choosing to leave public service due to safety concerns. Experts cited in the article suggest that this surge in violence is fueled by political polarization, misinformation, and a growing acceptance of violence as a political tool. The article calls for stronger measures to protect public servants and a societal effort to reduce the normalization of political violence.
