Acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney cautioned against focusing too heavily on politics “too soon” after a gunman on Friday killed 12 people at a city government building in Virginia Beach, Politico reports.
Said Mulvaney: “We have too many of these shootings, and every time the first thing we talk about is politics.”
He added: “The mourning period hasn’t even stopped yet, let alone the healing process. So, let’s not get too deep into politics too soon. Let’s think about the families.”
