Tiffany Trump issues statement on father's attempted assassination, seeks prayers for victims

 July 14, 2024

Tiffany Trump took to X to issue a statement following the attempted assassination of her father, former President Donald Trump, during a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday.

In her statement, Tiffany Trump said, "The outpouring of love and support for my dad is deeply appreciated. Thank you God for keeping my father alive. Political violence is never the answer. God bless the secret service and law enforcement who fearlessly intervened."

The attempted assassination left Trump wounded, but he is reportedly in good condition despite being mere millimeters from death.

Tiffany Trump continued in her statement saying, "Please include the families of the victims in your prayers. As you saw today, my father is a fighter and he will continue to fight for you and the USA.”

While former President Trump survived, 50-year-old former fire chief, Corey Comperatore, died while shielding his family at the time the shots rang out.

Comperatore's sister said in a social media post on Sunday, "The PA Trump Rally claimed the life of my brother, Corey Comperatore. The hatred for one man took the life of the one man we loved the most."

Two other supporters, identified as David Dutch and James Copenhaver, were critically injured but are now said to be in stable condition and are expected to survive. While there is much to celebrate in terms of Trump's survival, Americans should hold in prayer the families of those who were injured and killed in Saturday's horrifying attack.
