Former President Donald Trump issued the following statement early Sunday in response to the assassination attempt at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania:
“Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers yesterday as only God prevented the unthinkable from happening. WE ARE NOT AFRAID, but we will remain steadfast in our faith and defiant in the face of evil. Our love goes out to the other victims and their families. We pray for the recovery of the wounded, and we keep in our hearts the memory of the citizen who was so horribly murdered. At this time, it is more important than ever that we stand together and show our true character as Americans by standing strong and determined and not allowing evil to win. I truly love our country and I love you all, and I look forward to speaking to our Great Nation this week from Wisconsin.” – DJT
