"I wish I had a gun"

Do you know who Benjamin Tillman was?

He is the last politician to actually commit an act of violence in the Senate chamber or House of Representatives - he beat John McLaurin in 1902 in the Senate chamber.

He was a Democrat, and an extremely racist one

Do you know who Preston Brooks was?

He is the second to last politician to actually commit an act of violence in the Senate chamber or House of Representatives - he beat Senator Sumner in 1856 in the Senate chamber.

He was a Democrat and a racist
