PHOENIX — Arizona Sen. Ruben Gallego reflected on how he could be better as a politician and as a human following recent political violence.

Gallego told KTAR New 92.3 FM’s The Mike Broomhead Show on Thursday the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, recent shooting at a Dallas ICE facility and school violence has made him realize that he and other leaders need to look inward.

“Let’s all look internally and see how we’ve been acting, what we’ve been saying,” Gallego said. “And we all could have been better, and let’s just try to do better, right?”

Following Kirk’s death, Gallego took to social media calling the assassination “beyond terrible,” not only emphasizing Kirk’s role as a husband, father and son but also that violence is never the answer.
