federation, vicki supporta is with us. thank you for being with us. >> thank you. >> we just saw the man in custody, in court, at a hearing in colorado springs. as you see those pictures and that video coming in, you think what? >> i think that this is a horribly tragic situation. we have been very concerned about the unprecedented increase in hate speech, in threats, in calls for violence against abortion providers since he highly edited, misleading videos were released in july. we've met with the department of justice and we have been providing them before and after that meeting in early august with the threats that we've been uncovering, so that they could effectively investigate the perpetrators. >> there's been pushback, as i'm sure you know, politically, from republican candidates in particular, saying we don't know whether this man officially was an anti-abortion activist.
