As were so many, we were horrified and saddened by the attack on Sunday against Donald Trump. While we may, to a person, abhor his politics, we equally abhor political violence, in any form, against both public figures and private citizens. We condemn both the attack and any who see this as an opportunity to further harm their fellow citizens in the name of political ideology or “saving America.”
We condemn any attempt to use this for political, personal, or financial gain. We sincerely hope that those who have been calling for a new civil war see this as a wake-up call as to what that would truly mean. Our hearts are with the innocent bystanders injured and the loved ones of the man murdered by the shooter. Regardless of their political leanings, they are our fellow citizens, and we wish them peace and healing.
