Former Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips discusses political divide, state of Democratic party

Описание: Charlie Kirk's death has sparked a lot of conversation about the bitterly partisan and politically violent times we live in. Democrats are especially divided over how to respond.

One view comes from the only elected Democrat who openly said President Joe Biden should not run again in 2024 and, in desperation, challenged him in the primary.

Former Minnesota Congressman Dean Phillips posted on X: "Charlie Kirk’s mission was to employ speech rather than bullets... To all fellow patriots on the right and left, LET’S UNITE by increasing our engagement with words while reducing carnage by weapons. It’s the only way forward."

Phillips joined ABC7 to discuss the Kirk's assassination, Kamala Harris' provocative new book, and the way forward.
