Independent Women Reacts to Assassination Attempt on Former President Trump
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Independent Women (IW) today issued the following statement in response to the attempted assassination of former President Trump:
“There is nothing more undemocratic than using violence to try to prevent democracy from happening. Independent Women wishes President Trump a speedy recovery — he exemplifies true grit and strength. The extreme language of claiming Trump is worse than Hitler and a threat to democracy has to stop – that is extremist, manipulative rhetoric that those who generate it know will spur exactly this sort of event. Our hearts go out to the families of those in the audience who per reports have been either killed or seriously wounded. And we are grateful there are patriotic and selfless men and women willing to give their lives for our president.”
Independent Women’s Law Center director and former legal advisor to President Donald J. Trump, May Mailman, said: “President Biden, his party, and certain media outlet’s magnification of the threat posed by President Trump has created a violent and untenable situation. I’m unspeakably sad. I hope that in the immediate future we can debate the issues without inventing a MAGA monster, which will lead to more of this.”
