Jewish Council for Public Affairs CEO Amy Spitalnick released the following statement:

“While we are still awaiting details of today’s incident, one thing should be clear: violence is never, ever acceptable and it is a direct affront to our values and our democracy.

“We are glad that the former president is safe, and our hearts break for all those impacted.

“This is a moment in which mis- and disinformation will be running rampant, amplified by bad actors intent on further dividing us. We encourage everyone to check sources and refrain from spreading bad information.”
