The following is a transcript of an interview with Sen. Tom Cotton, Republican of Arkansas, on 'Face the Nation' that aired on July 14, 2024.MARGARET BRENNAN: And we're back now with Arkansas Republican Senator Tom Cotton. Senator, thank you for joining us. And it is a difficult morning for many people waking up to this news. I wonder what your message is to Americans in this moment.SEN.
Of course, Margaret. Unfortunately, we've seen a few instances of violence in recent years. Throughout our history, there's been sporadic speights of violence. It has no place in America, or in the American political tradition. Robust, strong campaigns, contrasting ideas between candidates and parties, of course, is central to American democracy. But we settle those differences through political debates and through elections. We don't settle them through violence.
Well, first off, let me speak about the immediate upcoming event in Milwaukee, the Republican National Convention. President Trump has said it's going on as planned. I will be there next week. I look forward to speaking on behalf of President Trump. I encourage all the delegates and everyone else who's going to the convention to go there with confidence that it will be frankly, maybe the safest place in America over the next week.
Well, Margaret, I'm not privy to the details about the protection that the Secret Service provides to Donald Trump. That's something that the campaign and the Secret Service would keep very closely held. Donald Trump, again, expressed his gratitude for the Secret Service agents who protected him, along with all the other law enforcement officers who secured the scene and neutralized the shooter promptly.
