The friendship of two Louisiana congressmen -- Republican Steve Scalise and Democrat Cedric Richmond -- should be an example for their fellow lawmakers at a time when many in the United States sit at odds with one another, the two men told Margaret Brennan during an interview for "Face The Nation," which aired on CBS on Sunday (June 17). "The division in this country right now, I believe, is at one of the highest peaks during my generation, and hopefully we can start to bridge that divide by leading by example," Richmond said when Brennan asked the congressmen whether their friendship or the national divisions are "more reflective of where we are as a country." "There's no excuse, it's completely unacceptable, to resort to violence to try to resolve some kind of disagreement when you have somebody with -- that you have with them politically," he said. While the interview remained largely cordial, with both Scalise and Richmond advocating the other's abilities to lead, the congressmen did not hide where their differences lie. Immigration, tax cuts and healthcare are just a few of the issues the two do not agree on -- as well as what the House will look like come November. Scalise has been named as a possible successor for current Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, and Richmond said he supports his colleague. I just want him to be in the minority." In response, Scalise said Richmond would make a "great minority leader." He went on to say he believes both himself and Richmond will be reelected, but that the Republican Party will still hold the majority. The "Face the Nation" interview was filmed the day before the annual congressional baseball game, where Richmond pitched the Democrats to victory, 21-5 Scalise was visibly limping during the game, a year after the 52-year-old congressman was shot in the hip while practicing for the 2017 Congressional Baseball Game for Charity.

Among those who opposed him politically but mourned him personally was one man who had recently crossed paths with him, Ronald Reagan. Reagan’s words to Ethel Kennedy were simple and heartfelt: “I know there is little anyone can say at such a time but if there is anything we can do to be of help in any way, please let us know. By that time, Reagan was governor of California and Kennedy was the U.S. senator from New York. He knew that Reagan had bested him. Reagan wrote that letter as Kennedy lay dying, he lost any zeal he had for making a presidential run that year. Fast-forward to another June 5, 13 years later in 1981. Ronald Reagan is president of the United States. Ronald Reagan reflecting on Bobby Kennedy: “I’ll tell you one thing. Goldwater asked Reagan if he thought Robert Kennedy could have been elected. He’d have made one helluva president.” And 23 years after that ceremony and conversation, President Reagan himself died at the age of 93 after a struggle with Alzheimer’s disease.
