Leader Thune,
This 3rd assassination attempt is horrific.
But condemnation alone won’t stop political violence.
It ends when Americans trust their votes actually count.
When faith in elections collapses, ballots become bullets.
Pass the SAVE A Act now-> proof of citizenship & photo ID & States required to share their voting records.
Restore legitimacy. Secure PEACE before YOU ensure violence.
The events of Saturday night were horrifying. It is difficult to believe that this is the third time President Trump has faced an assassination attempt.
I am thankful for the many law enforcement officers who responded, in particular those who secured the shooter before he could harm the president or anyone else at the event.
Political violence is never the answer, and it must end.
