Harris issues statement saying she is ‘deeply disturbed’ by assassination attempt on Trump
SUMMARY
Vice President Kamala Harris issued a statement on Sunday condemning the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, describing the incident as “deeply disturbing.” Harris asserted, “I condemn political violence,” and urged that “we all must do our part to ensure that this incident does not lead to more violence.” The attack, which took place near Trump’s golfing venue in West Palm Beach, Florida, was confirmed by the FBI as an assassination attempt. Harris expressed relief that Trump was unharmed, stating, “I am thankful that former President Trump is safe,” and commended the Secret Service and law enforcement for their vigilance. The FBI has labeled the incident as an assassination attempt, and while Harris expressed gratitude for Trump’s safety, her critics question whether her statement is a genuine effort to address political violence or a strategic move in her political campaign.
