Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly on Friday blasted Arizona GOP Senate candidate Kari Lake for her recent violent rhetoric, telling NBC News' 'Meet the Press,' that Lake's comment could result in people 'getting hurt or killed.' Kelly, a Democrat, was asked about comments, first reported by NBC, that Lake made last month at a campaign event, where she said, 'They’re coming after us with lawfare, they’re going to come after us with everything.
So I hope people reject that. I think they should consider their language and try to do better going forward.' The senator spoke about his personal experience with political violence, reflecting on the 2011 shooting that left his wife, then-Rep. Gabby Giffords, severely injured. 'She was shot in the head while meeting with her constituents. Six people died. Another 18, including her, were injured. It was a horrific act of political violence,' Kelly told Welker.
