Latta Statement on Attempted Attacks

Washington, October 24, 2018 | Drew Griffin (202-225-6405)

Congressman Latta released the following statement regarding the attempted attacks on President Obama, President Clinton, Secretary Clinton, and other public figures.

“I condemn the recent attempted attacks on President Obama, the Clintons, CNN, and others in the strongest possible terms. There is no room for violence in our country’s political debate, and whoever took these actions should be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. The uptick in threats on public officials, extreme rhetoric, and actual violence is deeply concerning and needs to change. As a nation, we should be able to discuss the important issues of the day without risk of physical harm. I commend the Secret Service for their actions to intercept these explosives and urge vigilance as law enforcement searches for the perpetrators.”
