“President Trump, his family and the families of the victims of today’s shooting are in our prayers,” Gordon said in a statement. “We are thankful for the professional and quick response of the Secret Service. This is truly a sad day for our Republic, and should serve as a wake-up call for all Americans to express disagreement without resorting to violence.”
Senator Cynthia Lummis echoed those sentiments.
“I am horrified by the attempted assassination that took place at today’s Trump rally,” Lummis said in a statement. “I am relieved President Trump’s injuries are minor, but my heart breaks for the person who was killed and those who were injured. I am eternally grateful for the swift actions of law enforcement who acted quickly to neutralize the suspect and prevent greater tragedy. Political violence has no place in this country.”
