 Kelly believes that there 's now a chance to change a political environment he thinks is filled with far too much vitriol . He hoped that the tragedy would also be an opportunity to improve the tone of our national dialogue and cool down the rhetoric . In response to a question on February 4 , regarding the discussions about civility in politics Kelly said : " I haven ’ t spent a lot of time following that but I think that with something that was so horrible and so negative and the fact that six people lost their lives , including a nine @-@ year old girl , a federal judge , Gabby ’ s staff member Gabe — who was like a younger brother to her — it ’ s really really a sad situation . I am hopeful that something positive can come out of it . I think that will happen , so those are good things . "
