I called the office of one of my Senators, Tom Tillis (R-NC), to see what he thought of Trump’s statement, given that it was made in Wilmington NC. The staffer said he hadn’t heard anything about it yet. I explained what Trump said and the staffer sighed a bit and said “this sounds like something that’s going to get a lot of attention, so we’ll probably have a statement in the next couple of days.”

I will call back!
