00:00First and foremost the assassination attempt on the former president Donald
00:05Trump last night was absolutely unacceptable and tragic. Lori and I are
00:11grateful that the former president is safe and according to him and his team
00:17is fine. It's also important to note that last night three of our fellow
00:23Pennsylvanians were shot one fatally and two in critical condition. I've just
00:30spent time speaking to the families and I want to offer my prayers and the
00:37prayers of all 13 million Pennsylvanians for the two individuals
00:42who are being treated at this time. We lost a fellow Pennsylvanian last night
00:48Cory Comparator. I just spoke to Cory's wife and Cory's two daughters. Cory was
01:00a girl dad. Cory was a firefighter. Cory went to church every Sunday. Cory loved
01:08his community and most especially Cory loved his family. Cory was an avid
01:15supporter of the former president and was so excited to be there last night
01:22with him in the community. I asked Cory's wife if it would be okay for me to share
01:30that we spoke. She said yes. She also asked that I share with all of you that
01:36Cory died a hero. That Cory dove on his family to protect them last night at
01:46this rally. Cory was the very best of us. May his memory be a blessing. Last night
01:53was shocking for this community and for this Commonwealth and I know for this
01:59country. Political disagreements can never ever be addressed through
02:07violence. Disagreements are okay but we need to use a peaceful political process
02:14to settle those differences. This is a moment where all leaders have a
02:21responsibility to speak and act with moral clarity. Where all leaders need to
02:28take down the temperature and rise above the hateful rhetoric that exists and
02:34search for a better brighter future for this nation.
