Gabby Giffords ‘sickened’ by murder of British politician Jo Cox
Absolutely sickened to hear of the assassination of Jo Cox. She was young, courageous, and hardworking. A rising star, mother, and wife.

“Just like January 8, 2011 did not deter America from its founding ideals, the British principle of pluralism and the nation’s democratic institutions will endure,” Giffords said in a statement Thursday.
Giffords said in her statement released by her gun control group, Americans for Responsible Solutions, that she was grieving for the family and friends of Cox, whom she described as “courageous, young, and a hardworking public servant” and “a rising star,” mother and wife.
