Your Voice: What was your initial reaction to the assassination attempt on Republican candidate Donald Trump?

Beverly Baker

“My initial reaction was it was an inside job. I believe that the shooter and also the victim were part of Donald Trump’s plan. This is just a derailment to get off the subject of what he’s facing, and I truly believe it is an inside job. I do. I believe it was an inside job until I see proof that this man was not part of a plan.”

Omari Stennet

“I think it was absurd. I think it was uncalled for. I’m not a big fan of politics like that. I’m not even a big fan of Donald Trump. However, he’s for the people from listening to Donald Trump and what he represents and speaks about. And all he wanted to do was the right thing. So I don’t I don’t want him to get killed. I don’t want anybody to get killed. But, you know, I thought it was absurd. And I’m more than grateful that he survived. And I wish the best for him. I don’t want anything to happen to Donald Trump. And that’s my answer. It’s good.”

Francesca Lowe

“I didn’t believe it. I didn’t know what was going on. I didn’t hear about it. My coworker just told me. And the first thing that came to mind was that it was staged. It was not real to provoke sympathy or empathy. I’m not sure which one. That’s it.”

Roger Williams

Atlanta

“My first reaction to what happened to Trump is that I believe the government set it up because a real sniper is not going to miss; if they wanted to shoot you, they would have shot you. A real sniper is not going to miss. I think it was politically set up for him to get more votes, get more attention, and for him to make history because he was almost assassinated. I mean, it’s all publicity.”
