Farmer's official response is good:

“There is not a single member of our body who doesn’t have tremendous sympathy for Rep. Pearson’s loss. Every one of us has struggled with personal tragedy at some point and we have all offered grace and compassion while he took these last few months off to grieve.

Unfortunately, on his first day back, Rep. Pearson took the first available opportunity to attack and demean his colleagues and then attempted to confront me physically. I will continue to pray for him, and I hope he finds peace and healing.”

But I'm more interested in what his private, unofficial response might be.
