Boise, Idaho (CBS2) - Leaders from across the state of Idaho are responding to the assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump.
Idaho Governor Brad Little wrote on X, "Praying for President Trump, his family, and our nation."
U.S. Senator Mike Crapo wrote on X, "I continue praying for the innocent victims & their families killed or injured by the assassination attempt at Donald Trump's rally today. Acts of political violence are those of cowardice, evil, and weakness. They are devoid of our community."
U.S. Senator Jim Risch wrote on X, "The apparent attempt of President Trump's life in Pennsylvania is absolutely horrific. Vicki and I are praying for President Trump and all those injured in today's despicable incident."
Congressman Russ Fulcher wrote on X, "The Lord protected President Donald J. Trump. Please join me in praying for our nation."
Congressman Mike Simpson wrote on X, "Kathy and I thank God President Trump is safe after today's assassination attempt. We are grateful to secret service and law enforcement who selflessly threw themselves in harm's way to protect the President. Let me be clear: the gunman aimed to-nothing less than-kill the former President of the United States. The cowardly act follows years of the left's hateful and evil rhetoric toward Trump and Republicans. Political violence is fundamentally un-American and completely unacceptable. Today is tragic for our nation, but it must also be a moment of unity to get our country back on track."
Boise Mayor Lauren McLean posted on X saying: "Enough. Political violence has no place in our country. I’m holding those hurt in my prayers, mourn the senseless loss of life and pray for Donald Trump’s speedy recovery."
"Now’s the time to pray for our nation and to recommit to bridge our divides, respect our adversaries, and protect our democracy."
