WASHINGTON, D.C. – Republican National
Committee (RNC) Chairman Joe Gruters released the following statement after an
active shooter opened fire at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner:
“Last night’s attempted
assassination of President Trump and members of his administration is the
inevitable result of a radicalized left that has normalized political
violence,” said Chairman Gruters. “Democrats can issue all the hollow
calls for ‘unity’ they want, but their actions tell the truth — they’ve
repeatedly blocked funding for DHS and the very law enforcement agencies tasked
with protecting Americans. You cannot inflame division, undermine public
safety, and then pretend to stand for peace. Until Democrats fully fund our
security, their words are worthless.”
