D.C. Bureau U.S. senators call for security funding boost after Minnesota assassination

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

WASHINGTON — U.S. senators emerged from a briefing with federal law enforcement officials Tuesday saying they’ll likely boost funding on safety and security for members and their families in an upcoming government funding bill.

The hour-long briefing by U.S. Capitol Police and the Senate sergeant-at-arms followed the weekend assassination of a Minnesota state lawmaker and her husband as well as the attempted murder of a state senator and his wife.

The gunman had a list of Democratic elected officials, including members of Congress, and their home addresses, which renewed long-standing security concerns among lawmakers.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., spoke about the shootings during a floor speech shortly after the meeting, pressing for an end to political violence.

1. I bet Mike Lee thinks this is a swell idea.

Trump will funnel all the money to protect Republican Senators and leave the Democrats to fend for themselves.

3. How about no. You want extra security? Pay for it OOP.
