No place in America for violence, says Biden on Trump assassination bid
WASHINGTON: US President Joe Biden and former presidents Barack Obama, George W Bush and Bill Clinton condemned the assassination attempt on Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump at an election rally in Pennsylvania, saying there is no place for violence in America.
Trump, the 78-year-old former president, was injured on Saturday after being shot in the ear during an apparent assassination attempt. The attacker killed one spectator at the rally, and two others were critically injured. The male attacker was shot and killed by a member of the Secret Service.
Addressing the nation after the incident, Biden said: “Look, there is no place in America for this kind of violence. It's sick. It's sick. It's one of the reasons why we have to unite this country. We cannot allow this to be happening. We cannot be like this. We cannot condone this,” Biden told reporters at his Rehoboth Beach house in Delaware.
