“I am disgusted by the assassination attempt on former President Trump. Any form of violence is unacceptable, and I urge everyone to engage in respectful and civil discourse,” Cabello said. “This is a very real sign our republic is at risk - when the leading presidential candidate is constantly met with fake news media lies, frivolous lawsuits, and legitimate attempts at his life.” ~ Illinois Assistant Minority Leader John Cabello
"Today is a terrible day for our nation. Nothing anyone says or beliefs they hold can EVER justify political violence – it is always unacceptable.
