America Shocked After Attempted Assassination of Donald Trump at Pennsylvania Rally

Kindly subscribe to keep me doing this

Yesterday, an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump occurred at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The assailant, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, opened fire, injuring Trump and killing rally attendee Corey Comperatore, a former fire chief who heroically protected his family.

President Biden responded, "There is no place in America for this kind of violence, or any violence for that matter. An assassination attempt is contrary to everything we stand for as a nation. It's not who we are as a nation. It's not America. And we cannot allow this to happen."

Biden further stated, "Unity is the most elusive goal of all. But nothing is more important than that right now. Unity. We'll debate and we'll disagree. That's not going to change, but it's going to. We're going to not lose sight of who we are as Americans."

The FBI is leading the investigation, and Biden has directed a thorough review of security measures for Trump and upcoming events. He emphasized the need for unity and urged against making assumptions about the shooter's motives or affiliations until the investigation is complete.
