Reactions from government leaders poured in shortly after a shooting at Donald Trump’s rally in Butler, Pa., Saturday afternoon, with Democrats and Republicans alike denouncing the violence.
“There is no place in America for this kind of violence,” President Biden said in remarks from the Rehoboth Beach, Del., police department. “It’s sick. … It cannot be like this. We cannot condone this.”
Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee to face Trump in November’s general election, said he did not have all the details on others in the audience who might have been injured. When asked whether he thought the shooting was an assassination attempt, Biden said, “I have an opinion, but I don’t have all the facts.”
