Trump, RNC issue statement that the convention will go on as planned and Trump “looks forward to joining you all in Milwaukee.”
Notice one thing about this statement: before getting down to the business of the convention, Trump first thanked law enforcement and first responders for their incredible response as the shots rang out. There will be much discussion in the coming days about how this shooter was able to perch on a rooftop unmolested and unnoticed, but for today, let’s just honor the lightning-fast reaction security forces had at the moment.
