TIL Desk/World/Washington/ US President Donald Trump has called for unity in the wake of the horrific shooting incident in which a top Republican leader was injured, saying that despite differences the devotion to the country brings the people together.
“This week, our nation was shocked and horrified when a gunman opened fire on a Member of Congress. Five people were wounded in the assault, including a member of House Leadership – my good friend, Steve Scalise,” Trump said in his weekly web and radio address to the nation.
House Majority Whip Scalise, 51, was shot in the hip by a rifle-welding critic of the president who sprayed bullets on US lawmakers practising for an annual baseball game in the Washington suburb of Alexandria.
In his address yesterday, Trump lauded Scalise, saying he is beloved across Washington, embodies everything public service is about, is dedicated to his constituents, devoted to his values, and deeply committed to his country. Scalise is the third ranking member of Republican party in the US House of Representatives where it holds a majority.
