GOP: The Second Assassination Attempt Against President Trump
U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) delivered remarks on the Senate floor regarding the assassination attempt against President Trump.
McConnell was Tuesday’s KVML “Newsmaker of the Day”. Here are his words:
“It’s dismaying to begin another week with news of an assassination attempt against a former President.
We certainly are all grateful once again that the worst outcome was avoided.
This ought to be a moment of soul-searching for all Americans. It’s a time to reflect on the ways that our political process has been infected by reprehensible violence.
In America, our democracy flows from the ballot box. Not from the barrel of a gun. Period.
In the meantime, for the second time in as many months, law enforcement faces an even more urgent task: completing a thorough, swift, and transparent investigation into the circumstances of yesterday’s close call.
The American people deserve answers. They deserve assurance that a former President who tens of millions of Americans have nominated once again will receive every appropriate measure of security. And they ought to receive them without delay.”
The “Newsmaker of the Day” is heard every weekday morning at 6:45, 7:45 and 8:45 on AM 1450 and FM 102.7 KVML.
