RNC Statement on the Anniversary of the Attempted Assassination of President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania

Press Release

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Joe Gruters released the following statement on the anniversary of the assassination attempt on President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania:

 

"Two years ago today, God spared President Trump's life on that field in Butler, Pennsylvania," said Chairman Gruters. "I believe he was spared for a reason: to save America. Today, he is doing exactly that — delivering the largest tax cut in history, a secure border, and the Great American Comeback. But two years later, Democrats' incendiary rhetoric is still fueling violence — including April's assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Until they condemn this hatred and stop it, Democrat calls for unity are worthless."
