Another assassination attempt has been made on a public figure, marking the second directed towards Donald Trump this year. This is a moment for us to stand united as a nation: violence in all forms is absolutely unacceptable. The United States is the land of the free, where no one should be subjected to physical threats because of their beliefs.
No Dem Left Behind is committed to amplifying the voices of rural America and decreasing political tensions across the country. Standing against violence is at the core of these values. Let’s continue to work together to promote peace, understanding, and unity across our country.
Reports show that the shooter was a Trump voter in 2016, and in recent years his political behavior has escalated to violent extremism. He was reportedly found hiding in the bushes at Trump's Florida golf club, aiming an SKS-style rifle just feet away.
In a report conducted by CBS in 2022, among the top 5 states with the highest gun ownership in the country includes Florida and Pennsylvania. With 40% of Adults in Pennsylvania living with guns and 35% in Florida, it is no surprise gun violence is also a very real issue. Both of Trump’s attempted assassinations have been living proof of the extreme issue of gun violence.
This is not what the American people stand for.
Polarization and hate has intoxicated our great country. No Dem Left Behind calls on you to be part of the unity we must achieve this election cycle. There has never been a more volatile election than this one; with the rise of xenophobia, racism, hate, and gun violence,we deserve a candidate who will protect and care deeply for Americans.
Trump is a victim to gun violence attacks that have been encouraged by Republican gun laws. We must find a way to protect the 1st amendment while ensuring weapons of mass destruction never reach the hands of dangerous criminals.
Together, let’s ensure that all Americans across the U.S. stay safe and protected from gun violence.
