Ohio Senate town hall: Republican J.D. Vance and Democrat Tim Ryan field questions from a live audience one week before Election Day. Follow along for updates.
Responding to a Twitter question, Ryan said he used a poor choice of words on the campaign trail when he said that people need to"confront and kill" Donald Trump's MAGA political movement – but it does need to be defeated politically.Ryan said MAGA-type rhetoric inspired the weekend attack on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband Paul. The congressman also condemned MAGA members who invaded the U.S. Capitol on Jan.
The representative also said that solution to crime and safety public is a combination of “conservative” and “progressive” ideas, emphasizing the need for both sides of the aisle to work together.Ryan called for the legalization of marijuana, saying the product could be taxed and used to fund programs such as addiction treatment. He said he supports releasing nonviolent criminals from prison who were put there for marijuana possession.
Ryan also said he supports clean and green energy, but that is only part of the answer. He took no position on President Joe Biden's call for an excess profits tax on oil companies.
