KENTUCKY — It has been a busy few weeks in national politics, from conversations related to the border to federal aid. Those topics have many political observers and even lawmakers in Washington, D.C. openly saying this current session of Congress has been full of grid lock with lots of contention, and infighting between party lines.

Recently, Kentucky Congressman Brett Guthrie, R-Bowling Green, joined ‘In Focus Kentucky’ to discuss all of this and more.

Also included in this segment, Rep. Guthrie reacts to what millions across the world witnessed on live on television, former President Donald Trump surviving an attempted assassination, when a 20-year-old opened fire during Trump’s campaign rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, July 13.

Guthrie said in the days and weeks following the attempt on Trump’s life, he hopes it will lead to people toning down the rhetoric.
