WATCH: Rep. Kat Cammack argues both political parties are engaged in unhelpful, angry rhetoric

Republican Rep. Kat Cammack of Florida says Republicans and Democrats need to start having a thoughtful dialogue to unite Americans and get away from “anger-tainment.”

PBS News Hour co-anchor Amna Nawaz asked Cammack on Monday about comments the congresswoman made blaming Democrats for the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. Cammack said she did not regret her remarks, and criticized news organizations.

“I am an equal-opportunity offender, so I will say that both Republicans and Democrats for the last several years have engaged in rhetoric that is not helpful in unifying us as a nation. So we have an opportunity here at this convention to move forward,” Cammack said on the first night of the Republican National Convention.

Co-anchor Geoff Bennett also asked what J.D. Vance brings to the Republican ticket.

“As a millennial, I’m a little bit biased. He’s 39 years old. I love seeing that young energy on the ticket and I think it’s going to be in stark contrast to Vice President Harris when they have their debate,” Cammack said. “I’m excited. I think he brings a lot of energy, a lot of passion, a great voice and messenger for the America First movement.”
