"A Providential Moment" - Quotes on the Attempted Assassination

 

"It was a Providential moment. . . . He has been vilified by Joe Biden, the Democrats, and the Left wing more than any President since Abraham Lincoln. This was a political act. It was a deliberate act. And I've said for four months . . . that when all of the legal bologna fails, and when they begin to realize that he is going to win, that violence is the next thing, because they are that desperate." - Speaker Newt Gingrich


Painting by Matthew McGahee


“The Democratic Party, the Deep State, they hate Trump so much. He’s an existential threat to them, to their power, and they will do anything and say anything to get rid of him. The Russia collusion hoax was just the beginning. Any lie, any narrative they can grab onto. They will do anything. They will prosecute him. They will make up laws. They will do lawfare, anything they can do. And if that doesn’t work, they will try to put a bullet in his head.” - Eric Metaxas


"I refuse to accept these types of blame-shifting responses from the Secret Service. An American died, and others were injured yesterday because you allowed a shooter to access an unsecured rooftop perch a mere 140+/- yards from the stage. The bottom line is that the security perimeter was inadequate, as security coverage should be beyond 500 yards or more.” - U.S. Rep. Jeff Duncan


"These lies about Trump explain why an assassination attempt was inevitable." - Dennis Prager


"It's shocking the core of a nation." - Sean Hannity


"Clearly, our political system is not well. The stakes in the coming election are genuinely high. Both sides know it, and yesterday’s events will not bring about a kinder and gentler political culture. The 2024 election looms large as we consider the future of our nation. Those who see no higher plane than politics are increasingly desperate. Christians cannot share that kind of desperation.

Why? Because the Christian faith underlines the two realities of divine sovereignty and human responsibility. Both are absolutely necessary to Biblical Christianity, and both are absolutely necessary to the Christian worldview in every respect. But though both are necessary, they are not equal. Human responsibility is real, but it exists only within the transcendent reality of God, and within the context of his unconditional providence. The reality of God’s providence is something many Americans, and no doubt many Christians, think about with far too little seriousness. But I dare to ask, how do you look at yesterday’s events in Butler, Pa., and see it all merely as a lucky miss? If that’s all there is to it, our luck will one day run out. Thank God that day was not yesterday." - R. Albert Mohler
