PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP
GRAZED BY GUNSHOT IN ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT
SATURDAY AFTER THE SHOOTING:
The Catholic Action League of Massachusetts is calling for prayers for the safety and speedy recovery of former President Donald J. Trump, who was grazed by a gunshot in an assassination attempt, while speaking at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania this afternoon.
Blood was visible on the former President’s ear and face, but he seemed otherwise uninjured.
The Catholic Action League called the incident “the ultimate attack on democratic institutions.”
Catholic Action League Executive Director C. J. Doyle made the following comment: “Our prayers are with the former President and his family. All Americans must unequivocally condemn this savage act of barbarism.
After eight years of demonizing Donald Trump as a fascist, a racist, a traitor, an authoritarian, an asset of Putin and a threat to democracy, it would seem that the inevitable occurred this afternoon.
In 1994, when John Salvi shot up two Massachusetts abortion clinics, killing two abortion workers, the mainstream media and the political Left were quick to assign blame to the rhetoric of the pro-life movement.
Perhaps the time has come for them to apply the same standard to themselves.
Given today’s event, the attempt by Representative Bennie Thompson (D-MI) to deprive President Trump of U.S. Secret Service protection with his proposed DISGRACE Act (H.R. 8081) takes on a more sinister connotation, suggesting either malice or recklessness, or both.
One final consideration: Given this incident and the history of the Kennedy family, the Biden Administration must reverse its decision to deny Secret Service protection to Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.”
