Oklahoma lawmakers react to Trump rally violent incident

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — Several Oklahoma lawmakers have responded in the wake of former President Donald Trump being removed from stage Saturday afternoon during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, after gun shots were fired.

Loud noises were heard in the distance before Trump was seen with blood on the side of his face after being shot in the right ear before being surrounded by Secret Service Agents.

“My prayers are with President Trump and those in attendance at the rally— and we should all feel so thankful for the swift response by the Secret Service and law enforcement. While details are still coming in, we can’t tolerate attempts to thwart democracy with political violence. Period.”

Governor Kevin Stitt

My thoughts and prayers are with President Trump.

Congressman Tom Cole
