Senator Jerry Moran shared in his recent newsletter that he is praying for the United States and stated the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump not only took the life of an innocent father, but injured Trump and was an attack on the democratic process.
“I am relieved President Trump is doing well, and I mourn the life of the citizen who died and pray for our country,” Sen. Moran said.
Sen. Moran also stated that he spoke to the FBI Executive Assistant Director of the National Security Branch and has received an update on the ongoing investigation into the assassination attempt.
“Our federal law enforcement officers are working hard to figure out how this happened, why it happened and what steps need to be taken to make certain it never happens again,” Sen. Moran said. “Congress will also do a full investigation of the assassination attempt and determine if there were lapses in security. The American people need and deserve to know.”
Moran also added that the political temperature in the country has gotten too high and believes that elected officials on both sides ought to lead by example.
“I am pleased the Speaker Mike Johnson and President Biden both reiterated this message,” Sen. Moran said. “There will always be disagreements in politics, but we must treat one another with dignity and respect. This is a time to come together as a country and remember that we are blessed to all live in the greatest country on earth.”
