As acts of violence have increased, various Americans have questioned the cause of these acts and possible, future opportunities for prevention.
Readers of The Hill weighed in with their thoughts about the Vice President’s remarks.
“It will take more than prayer…”
“The media blame Trump for their own spreading of hate.”
“The media is a boiling cauldron of hate.”
