(WNY News Now) – CLARENCE, N.Y. – Congressman Nick Langworthy held a press conference following the assassination attempt on President Donald Trump, killing at least one rally attendee and injuring others.
“Tonight, we witnessed a disgusting and senseless act of political violence,” said Congressman Langworthy.“I’m relieved that President Trump is safe, but my heart is broken for those who were killed and injured and for their families.”
“This was an attack on our democracy and an attack on our freedom,” he continued. “To those who seek to spread fear and hatred, know this: You will not succeed. America has faced dark days like this before — and we will emerge stronger.”
He also added, “I’m grateful for the Secret Service agents who stepped up today and put themselves in harm’s way to protect President Trump and the rally attendees. This could’ve been much worse without their heroic actions.”
