"Speaking of your home state of Pennsylvania, President Trump is having a rally. He's talking about affordability, but he's also talking about other things. He just randomly talked about Ilhan Omar, talked about the turban on her head, said we should just get her out, and then there was a chant in the crowd: Send her back, send her back."
"Yeah, yeah, sure. Look, I disagree with Congresswoman Omar. I think she should be voted out of office, and I think I can do that without attacking her religion or her race or her ethnic background. I think that's really important. I know that the president disagrees with me. He and I have had these conversations. I have to say, during the Charlie Kirk shooting, in the conversations we had, he talked to me about nonviolence and trying to be a voice for that."
"I understand he's not interested in uniting the country. Cox added: And he would tell you that, I think, if you were sitting here with us tonight. But I would also say that it's not going to be a president who fixes this. It's not going to be two governors who fix this. It really has to be all of us. The politicians that we elect are a reflection of we the people."
Governors Josh Shapiro and Spencer Cox emphasized the need to lower political temperature and restore civility to counter political violence. They highlighted rhetoric targeting Somali Americans and Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, including a rally chant of "Send her back." Cox said he disagrees with Omar and prefers removing her via votes rather than attacking religion, race, or ethnicity. Cox recounted conversations about nonviolence and argued that healing polarization requires collective effort, noting that elected politicians reflect the electorate and that responsibility for reducing tensions rests with all citizens, not only national leaders.
