Members of the US Congress from both parties posted comments on social media in reaction to the shooting incident that injured former president Donald Trump at a campaign rally.
Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson commented, “I have been briefed by law enforcement and am continuing to monitor the developments. This horrific act of political violence at a peaceful campaign rally has no place in this country and should be unanimously and forcefully condemned.”
The top Democrat in the Senate, Chuck Schumer commented, “I’m horrified by what happened at the Trump rally in Pennsylvania and relieved that former president Trump is safe. Political violence has no place in our country.”
The top Democrat in the House, Hakeem Jeffries commented, “My thoughts and prayers are with former president Trump. Political violence of any kind is never acceptable.”
