To be honest, it's not very surprising, even if it's pretty disheartening to see. The increase in volatile rhetoric over the past several years has raised the level of 'shock talk' among politicians, and it's really only going to get worse. I don't foresee it getting any better, anytime soon. The stonewalling the GoP's done this cycle, will only be replicated by the Dems when they're in the minority, and who knows where it'll end.
For example, several lawmakers have called for the President to be hanged, one called him buckwheat. Conversely, you have Biden stating that Republicans 'will have you back in chains' during a rally in Virginia. Given the kind of animosity lobbed too and fro, I can only imagine things are going to keep getting worse, as far as political divisiveness, nasty/hate speech, etc... is concerned.
