Another IMPT note—
We STILL don’t have a clue who was in charge of watching that building the shooter was sitting atop!
I’m told Senators tried to ask questions but weren’t called on.

While standing in line to enter an event at the RNC today, I was assaulted by what appeared to be a member of the pro-Hamas group CODEPINK. A nearby police officer witnessed this assault and I understand they have been arrested.
This appears to be an incident of political violence and I will never tolerate this. Regardless of the severity of the violence, political violence is political violence.
Republicans have been intimidated and targeted for years including the attempted assassination of President Trump and we will no longer standby and allow lawlessness.
There is no place for political violence in this country and I have repeatedly called for people who choose this path to be prosecuted to the greatest extent of the law.
Nothing will change until these people are held accountable.
