TUCSON, Ariz. — The name of Tucson came to be tied to political violence when a gunman killed six people and wounded 12 others including then Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords .
“When I saw where former President Trump was shot, and you asked about was it triggering? Yes, it was because my old boss Gabby Giffords was shot on that side of her head and it just brought it all back.” Barber is a dedicated Democrat who disagrees with Donald Trump on many things but he says disagreements must never devolve into violence.
Barber has worked with Republicans and through a range of organizations to try to build a personal and political culture that can disagree—without language that’s like a punch in the mouth.
