(WASHINGTON, D.C.)– Congressman Scott DesJarlais (R-TN-04) responds to apparent shots at a rally for former President Donald Trump. 

 

“First of all, let’s be thankful that reports are President Trump is safe. We are praying for the other innocent attendees and their families impacted by this act of violence.

 

Political violence is never acceptable, and the threats made time and again against President Trump over the years have made today’s event feel like a formality. 

 

Let’s all be thankful that this did not turn out to be worse, and Amy and I are grateful that Donald Trump is safe.  As the investigation continues, let’s work to make sure this does not happen again.”
