"I condemn in the strongest possible terms, the attack on Donald Trump last night," U.S. Rep. Jason Crow (D) told 9NEWS reporter Marshall Zelinger Sunday. "There is no place for that violence in America, in our political discourse, period. Against the former president, and against anybody. And we all need to take a step back, collect ourselves, figure out how we lower the temperature in the room and to break the cycle that we seem to be getting ourselves into, to figure out a better path forward." The congressman said in the past few years, he'd also been the target of a variety of threats, including death threats. He also said he was trapped in the House gallery by mobs that entered the Capitol on Jan. 6. "We are in an era of heightened tension," Crow said. "We're in an era of increased danger of political violence. And we're all mindful of that. And that's not a call for us to lose our cool. It's just a call for folks to be vigilant and to take care of themselves and ultimately, to be truthful about the reality of the situation that we're in right now."
