Former Vice President Mike Pence, no stranger himself to nearly being murdered by unhinged Republican voters, issued an updated statement Sunday morning following the assassination attempt on convicted felon former President Trump in Pennsylvania, writing “Karen and I thank God that President Trump is safe and recovering following yesterday’s attempted assassination and are grateful for the swift response by Secret Service that undoubtedly saved lives. We are praying for his full recovery and for those lost and injured in this horrific attack. There is no place in America for political violence and it must be universally condemned,” ABC News reports.
