Reid, McConnell lead moment of silence on Senate floor
"We pray for the students and faculty members and families of Virginia Tech community, and do hope for a speedy recovery of the wounded," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, said. "And we pray that America can find the strength, which we will find, for overcome our grief and outrage, as we face yet another tragedy." "On behalf of this side of the aisle, let me offer my condolences for this unspeakable tragedy to which the majority leader has been referring, and join him in calling for a moment of silence," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, added. |
