As members of Congress gathered to pray earlier Wednesday following the shooting that wounded Majority Whip Steve Scalise and four others, U.S. Rep. Martha McSally took a moment to talk to her Democratic colleague Tom O'Halleran.
It was a brief talk, but McSally said she wanted to reach out to the newest member of the Arizona delegation he represents District 1 in the aftermath of the shooting. "Our district knows better than any what these things are like," McSally told the Arizona Daily Star.
Both parties, she said, need to lower the temperature of the rhetoric. "We are all responsible for bringing the temperature down," she said. "The enemy is not each other, we have real enemies out there."

Hmm, I guess "civility" stops being so important for Republicans when they no longer have control over both the White House and both chambers of Congress.
I think I prefer nasty Martha McSally to "Let's have civility" Martha McSally forever then.
