MORRIS COUNTY — Gubernatorial candidates Republican State Senator Jon Bramnick and Democrat former Senate President Steve Sweeney today released the following statement in response to the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.
“The attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump this weekend is a stark reminder of the need for civility in our political discourse. Disagreement is a foundation of our cherished political system, but the current environment in which political opponents are treated as enemies breeds extremism and political violence. We condemn this weekend’s horrific events and urge all residents and elected leaders to treat each other with civility and respect.”
