During a political rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, former President Donald Trump was injured in an assassination attempt that left at least one audience member dead and others critically injured. Trump was seen raising his fist in defiance as he was escorted from the stage amid the chaos, blood dripping from his right ear after he came within just a few inches of joining the list of murdered political figures in U.S. history.

While prayers, shock, and outrage exploded across the country, figures on the Left rushed to condemn the attack. Democrat after Democrat released statements rejecting political violence and celebrating Trump’s survival.
