Florida Congressman Jared Moskowitz (D) issued the following statement on the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump on Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania:. “The assassination attempt to take former President Trump’s life this weekend was not only a chilling moment in our country’s history but also a security failure,” Moskowitz said. “As the former Emergency Management Director for Florida, I believe there was a fundamental breakdown by law enforcement that we must urgently investigate and address to prevent future incidents.

Now is not the time for partisan politics or making baseless accusations to foment more violence.
