By Halimah Olamide
There is no place for violence in the politics of the United States.
This was the first reaction by former President Barack Obama Saturday night after gunshots were heard at a rally held by the candidate of the Republicans Donald Trump.
NPO Reported earlier that Trump dunked after the gunshot and was seen bleeding and later rushed off the stage by men of the secret services
Obama, in his reaction, wrote shortly after the news of the attack went online, “There is absolutely no place for political violence in our democracy.
“Although we don’t yet know exactly what happened, we should all be relieved that former President Trump wasn’t seriously hurt, and use this moment to recommit ourselves to civility and respect in our politics. Michelle and I are wishing him a quick recovery.”
