Oklahoma Leaders Call for Unity, Condemn Violence After Trump Rally Shooting

I am grateful for the heroic acts of law enforcement who rushed to ensure President Trump’s safety,” said Rep. Hern. “It is truly a miracle that the bullet only grazed President Trump’s ear. Tammy and I are keeping him, as well as the loved ones of the individual killed and the two people who were gravely injured, in our prayers. This was a reckless assassination attempt that put thousands of people in danger. Political violence of any kind should be universally condemned in the strongest of terms. I ask my fellow Oklahomans to join me in lifting our nation up in prayer.

Congressman Josh Brecheen:

President Trump, even with blood on his face, is not going to stop fighting for the American people. Please join us in praying for continued Providential protection for our 45th President (and future 47th), the attendees at today’s rally, and all their families. We send our sincerest gratitude to the law enforcement who responded at the scene.

Attorney General Gentner Drummond:

The bullets of madmen have altered the course of American history many times, but not today. Thank God President Trump is safe. Amid reports of multiple injuries and possible fatalities at this horrific shooting, every American must reject political violence and resolve to settle our policy differences at the ballot box. The future of our Republic depends on it.
