CHAUTAUQUA, N.Y. (WKBW) — After a tumultuous week in America, two politicians from opposite sides of the aisle shared the stage Friday at the Chautauqua Institution.
Republican Kevin McCarthy, a former Speaker of the House, and Julian Castro, a one-time Democratic candidate for President and former HUD secretary under President Obama.
Both spoke about the need for change.
Castro joined a growing chorus of Democrats, saying President Biden should step aside.
McCarthy spoke about the growing tension in our country, revealing that a member of his own family was a potential target of violence. He called for the nation to tone down the rhetoric.
