Pelosi: 'I thank God that former President Trump is safe'
Source: The Hill
Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said that political violence of any kind has no place in our society after apparent shots were fired at former President Trumps rally in Butler, Pa., on Saturday.
As one whose family has been the victim of political violence, I know firsthand that political violence of any kind has no place in our society, Pelosi said in a post on X, referring to the attack on her husband, Paul Pelosi, at their San Francisco home two years ago.
I thank God that former President Trump is safe, Pelosi said. As we learn more details about this horrifying incident, let us pray that all those in attendance at the former Presidents rally today are unharmed.

Of course, we all remember how Trump mocked the hammer attack on Pelosi's husband in a speech.

The former president baselessly called Californias election rigged and said he wants to liberate the state from communist rule, later saying organized retail thefts in the state could be addressed by shooting looters as they leave stores.
The former president also said hed direct a completely overhauled Justice Department to investigate every radical district attorney and attorney general for their racist and reverse enforcement of the law.
Trump, referring to his recent indictments, mocked President Joe Biden, saying, Lets indict the mother******, suggesting the president uses indictments as a means of destroying the credibility of those he doesnt like or those polling higher than him, even though his federal charges were brought by an independent prosecutor.
