President Obama addressed what’s been happening in Congress and on the 2016 campaign trail today, calling out divisive rhetoric:
At @SpeakerRyan's Friends of Ireland Lunch at the Capitol, Pres Obama says he hopes the hospitality extends to his Supreme Court nominee.

Pres Obama says "vicious atmosphere in our politics…has to stop." Tells members of Congress "all of us are responsible for reversing it."

"We can have political debates without turning on one another," says Pres Obama, in obvious reference to the presidential campaign.

Of the name-calling in the pres campaign, Pres says we can "roundly reject this kind of behavior in the other party or our own party."
