Political violence has no justification or place in America—against anyone, for any reason, at any time. While we are immensely grateful President Trump was not seriously injured and commend the swift actions of our first responders, law enforcement agents, and medical personnel, we are heartbroken and devastated by the senseless and tragic loss of an innocent bystander’s life and the serious injury of at least one other person.
"This heinous and reprehensible act was not just an assassination attempt, but an attack on our democracy, our freedom, and the very principles that define our great nation. We must mobilize every available resource to ensure a thorough investigation and, although the shooter has been killed, ensure any and all involved are brought to justice."
"In this dark and troubling hour, regardless of individual beliefs or where one stands, we must come together as a nation and find common ground to ensure our great nation continues to be the beacon of democracy, strength, and freedom that we have always been."
