WASHINGTON—Idaho Congressman Mike Simpson cosponsored a resolution solemnly marking the one-year anniversary of the attempted assassination of President Donald J. Trump, condemning the multiple attempts against the President’s life, condemning those who incite violence against political officials, and honoring the victims of the shooting. This resolution is sponsored by Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA) and Republican Study Committee Chairman Rep. August Pfluger (R-TX).

“Last year—July 13th, 2024—was a tragic day for our nation,” said Rep. Simpson. “It was a day that we thought would unify us Americans and stand together to condemn political violence. Unfortunately, from that day forward, we have continued to see hateful and evil rhetoric that has further incited political violence. There is no room for this violence in our country, and we must condemn it in all forms, regardless of political affiliation. President Trump demonstrated leadership and heroism on that solemn day. God bless him, God bless Corey Comperatore’s family, and God bless the Secret Service and law enforcement who selflessly threw themselves in harm’s way to protect the President.” 

Rep. Simpson is an original cosponsor of this important resolution. The full text is available here.
