People gather outside the Capitol on Saturday night for a vigil honoring the victims of the Arizona shootings that left six dead and Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in critical condition.
House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), appearing on CBS' "Face the Nation," called the shooting "an attack on democracy itself, on the ability ... to come together to talk to one another.
"That's what democracy is all about—Representatives listening to their constituents and trying to reflect their views."
Jackie Kucinich, Jessica Brady, John Stanton and Christina Bellantoni contributed to this report.
