A Pennsylvania senate candidate who was present at a rally where an attempt on former President Donald Trump's life took place has described the incident as 'very scary' and has called for a reduction in political rhetoric across the nation.
The GOP candidate, Dave McCormick, who was seated in the front row during the rally, recounted the moment when the President was swiftly shielded by Secret Service agents after the incident occurred. McCormick emphasized the gravity of the situation by stating that a mere inch difference could have resulted in a fatal outcome for the President.
Amidst the chaos, McCormick noticed a person behind him who had sustained severe injuries, with visible signs of heavy bleeding. The candidate expressed concern for the injured individual and the overall safety of those present.
Reflecting on the incident, McCormick highlighted the importance of maintaining civility in political discourse, stressing that while disagreements are inevitable in a democratic society, resorting to physical violence against candidates is unacceptable. He urged for a collective effort to de-escalate tensions and promote a more respectful exchange of ideas in the political arena.
