State Representative Court Boice returned to his Salem Office from Gold Beach around 2:30 PM today. Rep. Boice stated, “It felt like my heart stopped as the news exploded. I challenge everyone - now is the time for all Americans to come together, denounce political violence, and pray for a quick Donald Trump recovery. This tremendously sad day reminds me of the attempt and near death of U.S. Congressman Steve Scalise. A gunman who simply wanted to kill all Republicans that day on a D.C. baseball field. I ask everyone to pray for our country, our leaders and that these dark days will be quickly behind us!”
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., one who lost his father to assassination in 1968 and certainly comes with noteworthy authority, immediately issued this statement, “I call on all Americans to put aside their political differences and pray for former President Trump.”
Former President George W. Bush submitted the following statement, “Laura and I are grateful that President Trump is safe following the cowardly attack on his life. And we commend the men and women of the Secret Service for the speedy response.”
Boice concluded, “As heartbreaking and tragic as it is, I thank the good Lord we lost only one. That person was simply an innocent supporter exercising liberty to freely support a candidate of their choice. It is a miracle President Donald J. Trump lives on. Britt and I are tremendously grateful. As he walked off the stage, bloodied; the crowd chanted in unison, USA, USA, USA, USA! Our prayers and condolences also go out for all families who have lost loved ones, especially those tragedies due to such indescribable hatred.”
