Statement on behalf of West Virginia House of Delegates members listed below
West Virginia Press Association
“Certain events cause time to stop and cause history to take note. July 13, 2024, became one of those days, with its images of courage and strength now seared into all our minds.
When everyday political discourse equates the ladies and gentlemen in public service with monsters, when it becomes commonplace to call a political rival an enemy, the real evil is in the threat that can rise from those words.
The heinous act in rural Pennsylvania, not far from our borders, has become a deadly reminder that words matter, and civic discourse should never be life or death.
We join in praying for healing: for those who were injured and died, for President Donald J. Trump, the many first responders and all those who witnessed the deadly tragedy Saturday night, as well as their families, during this traumatic time.”
