CLC Responds to Shooting at Pennsylvania Rally

Washington, D.C. – Earlier today, former President Donald Trump was injured in a shooting at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania that left at least one person dead.   

Trevor Potter, Campaign Legal Center president and former Republican chariman of the Federal Election Commission, released the following statement: 

"Campaign Legal Center condemns today’s shocking act of violence against former President Trump. Now more than ever, our democracy depends on every American rejecting all forms of political violence. Tragic events like today’s shooting in Pennsylvania should never happen – not now, not ever. We may be a country that is bitterly divided politically, but those divisions do not justify these kinds of horrific acts of violence, no matter what. Our hearts go out to everyone affected by today's violence."
