Attempts to assassinate presidents and presidential candidates have become a tradition in American political life, said Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, referring to the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania.
Zakharova claims that US President Joe Biden has admitted that assassination attempts on presidents, candidates, prominent figures and political figures are a painful manifestation of America’s internal political life.
“Biden should have said that this is not only a painful manifestation of the domestic political life of the USA, but also a ‘tradition,'” Zaharova said.
20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks from Pennsylvania tried to assassinate the former US president and candidate in the upcoming presidential elections, Donald Trump.
According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the gunman shot Republican presidential candidate Trump while he was giving a speech on stage in Pennsylvania.
Trump was slightly wounded in the area of the right ear, and he was removed from the stage by the intervention of security.
The attacker was neutralized, his body was found not far from the scene of the attack, in which one person in the audience was killed and two others were seriously wounded, AA writes.
