Alabama lawmakers respond to White House Correspondent Dinner shooting

Governor Kay Ivey:

“God bless our President, First Lady and the men and women in law enforcement. Let us pray for our leaders each and every day.”

Representative Barry Moore:

“They’ve told countless lies about him.

They’ve tried to bankrupt him.

They’ve come after his family.

They’ve tried to put him in prison.

They’ve tried to assasinate him – three times.

And yet, President Trump continues to fight for the American people.

We need to get on our knees and pray for him and our country.”

Senator Tommy Tuberville:

“A lunatic just tried to take out President Trump AGAIN.

The demonization of the President and Republicans needs to end.

Praying for our President and our country.”

Congressman Gary Palmer:

“I’m very thankful for the swift action of the Secret Service and that the President and no one at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner was injured.

Considering this is the third attempt on the President’s life, last year’s assassination of Charlie Kirk, and the 2017 Congressional baseball shooting, it’s clear that our nation is in a cultural and political crisis.

We should all be praying for the healing of our nation and for the return of civil discourse.”

Senator Katie Britt:

“Wesley and I are praying for the safety of the President, the First Lady, and all those attending the White House Correspondents dinner. Grateful for the brave men and women in uniform working to keep everyone safe.”
