EXCERPT:
BRENNAN: “Our country has been living in a heightened threat environment for some time now. Yesterday’s assassination attempt against Mr. Trump confirmed our greatest fears. Last night we reported on inflammatory statements made by some of our elected or political leaders, and some of those who had called for calm. Mr. Trump issued a statement after his traumatic experience, and I noted that his statement did not include a call to lower the temperature. It was not meant as a critique, but rather an observation I made in the moment of that breaking news. Today, he said, that, quote, 'In this moment, it is more important than ever that we stand united.' So, in that spirit, let's all hope for a safe campaign for all of those involved, and the former president and his family deserve our empathy after what happened. I wish him and his family the best as he recovers from the attempt on his life.”
