NEW YORK – American Civil Liberties Union Executive Director Anthony Romero issued the following statement regarding the shooting of former President Trump:
“Every time someone uses violence to advance a political agenda, democracy withers. The shooting of former President Trump was wrong and un-American. Violence against our political leaders is abhorrent — no matter the underlying political agenda.
One act of violence doesn’t speak for the millions of Americans who oppose former President Trump but wish him no harm. The ACLU wishes former President Trump a speedy recovery so we can hash out policy differences the American way — on the campaign trail and at the ballot box.” Originally published at https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/aclu-statement-condemning-attack-against-former-president-trump
