The leadership of the Alaska Republican Party, which is in Milwaukee in preparation for Monday’s start of the Republican National Convention, issued a statement Saturday night, after former President Donald Trump had survived an assassin’s bullet in Pennsylvania.
“The assassination attempt on President Donald Trump is an abomination. Violence has absolutely no place in the politics of our country — it should be condemned by everyone regardless of their political beliefs, and the terrible and irresponsible rhetoric that incited it must stop immediately.
“Our prayers are with the loved ones of the innocent bystander who was brutally murdered at the rally, and with the other attendees who were badly injured. We are grateful to the brave men and women in law enforcement that moved quickly to protect President Trump and others at the rally. We are grateful that he is safe. We are praying for President Trump and his family, as well as for our nation.
“In the first moments after the attempt on his life, President Trump‘s first thoughts were not of his own safety, but to reassure Americans that were watching in shock and horror. He showed the courage, strength of character, and leadership that he is known for, and that our country needs — now more than ever.
“The Alaska Republican Party stands resolute in our support of President Trump. We look forward to nominating President Trump this week at our Convention and to his victory in November.”
The statement was signed by Carmela Warfield, chairwoman; Cynthia Henry, national committeewoman; and Craig Campbell, national committeeman.
