In America, we settle our political differences democratically—not violently. I am deeply saddened by today’s events in Pennsylvania. I condemn any violence aimed at former President Trump in the strongest terms, and pray for him, his family & our nation. We are better than this.

Political violence should be condemned in all forms. A free and fair election demands such. We are praying for the recovery of former President Trump and that the perpetrators are brought to justice swiftly.
