Former Senator Scott Brown (R-Mass.) spoke at Kennedy Hall Thursday on the increasing polarization between the Democratic and Republican parties and how such partisanship is inhibiting progress in Washington.

“We’re here to talk about labels and about dysfunction in Washington,” he said.

In his speech, Brown said there should be conflict and discourse between the two parties, but that they should be able to act cordially towards one another.
