So, I knew about this last week.
But in light of what happened last night, it bears looking at again:
Grief over the Dallas police ambush knows no partisan bounds, and the passenger list today as Air Force One headed to Love Field reflects that.
Aboard the presidential aircraft was Sen. Ted Cruz, a nemesis of President Barack Obama on a host of issues but particularly guns — a central point of contention in the aftermath of a massacre that left five officers dead, and a nation reeling.
Three Democratic lawmakers also were aboard: House Minority leader Nancy Pelosi; Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson of Dallas, whose district includes downtown; and Rep. Marc Veasey of Fort Worth, whose district includes parts of Dallas. They landed at 12:15 p.m., and Cruz walked down the front stairs a moment after the first couple, just behind Johnson.
Air Force One is a symbol of U.S. might and prestige. Obama, like Republican leaders, has called for unity since the Dallas tragedy, and the sight of him and Cruz emerging from the plane in Dallas is a dramatic way to project that.
“It’s in moments of tragedy that this unity is revealed,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Tuesday.
