President Joe Biden on Monday applauded U.S. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona for her role in crafting a wide-ranging gun violence bill that was signed into law last month.
Biden also gave shout-outs to three others — Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) and Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) — for their work on the $13 billion legislation that he signed June 25.
“I also want to thank the bipartisan group of senators that worked so hard to get this done, especially Sens. Murphy, Sinema, Cornyn and Tillis,” Biden said during an event in Washington, D.C., commemorating the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act’s passage.
“Hope I don’t get you in trouble for saying your names. Thank you for your courage.”
