WASHINGTON, D.C. (WNAX) – In the wake of a political rally in North Carolina, where President Trump again attacked four democratic Congresswomen of color, South Dakota Senator Mike Rounds says politicians have to find a way to turn down the overheated rhetoric.

Rounds says those elected to high office have to set the tone.

Rounds says words can have far reaching impacts.

Rounds also tweeted last week, “South Dakotans are patriots. We love America and South Dakota’s quality of life. We’re tired of radical nonsense from professional resisters.”
