Johnson emphasized the need for leaders from all parties to tone down rhetoric and prevent further violence through collective effort.
"America awakens to a rather surreal morning. This is a horrific act of political violence. It ought to be roundly condemned," Johnson stated. "Obviously, we can't go on like this as a society. Our prayers are with President Trump, all the rally attendees, certainly the family of the individual that lost their life and those who were injured."

Speaker Johnson says Congress will fully investigate why trump assassination attempt failed.
There have already been a number of people claiming that Trump was protected by the angels of God. For example, Pastor John Locke posted the following: “Today, the entire world saw a dispatch of Angelic protection from The LORD.”
God is indeed sovereign over everything that occurs in heaven and on earth. However, it’s of paramount importance to ask and answer correctly to what end was Trump protected?
Has Trump been raised up as someone who’s going to help save America from the precipice upon which she precipitously teeters?
Or, has Trump been raised up as part of God’s judgment upon what’s become a very wicked nation, per, for example, Daniel 4:17?
The answer’s certainly not found in Option #1.
Although, Trump is the better option for some temporary fixes, ultimately, no man who promotes the biblically seditious Constitution (responsible for all of America’s woes) as the supreme law of the land is going to be used to save America from the precipice.
Consequently, the only option remaining is Option #2.
1787/1788, with the creation and adoption, of the Constitution, marks the official commencement of America’s suicidal trek to the precipice.
We don’t always get to know God’s plan. But we can be certain God creates kings, leaders, kingdoms and nations. And they are created for His glory. We may not ever know, or it may be obvious down the road why God prevented the assassination of Trump. One thing we can be certain, from here, nothing gets better. It only gets worse as we march on towards the end times.
No, America’s support of the false state of Israel doomed us, Or the fact that our forefathers didn’t ban lawyers from being in Government. That is what doomed America.
G-R-E-A-T…. Another Warren Commision. Another coverup of the truth by a “Blue Ribbon” Congressional Commision.
i’m sure they will do as good a job as with Covid….
unless you will expose the CIA, FBI and Secret Service for their role in it, don’t bother. It will just be a dog and pony show for the gullible.
Which is doublespeak for “we’re sorry he’s not dead.” This is typical of a Trump supporter in Congress.
Speaker Johnson Says Congress Will Fully Investigate Trump Assassination Attempt
And upon completion of the investigation will write a sternly worded letter to those whose incompetence led to such a heinous act.
