NHSA Comments on Attempted Assassination of Former President Trump
Washington, D.C — In response to the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump over the weekend, the National Head Start Association released the following statement from Executive Director, Yasmina Vinci.
“Following the horrific events of this past weekend, NHSA and the Head Start community join President Joe Biden, former President Donald Trump, and many others in condemning political violence and calling for unity around the American ideals of democracy and civil discourse. We are grateful that former President Trump was not seriously hurt and we send our deep condolences to the Comperatore family. We also send wishes for a full recovery to all those suffering from the physical and emotional trauma of Saturday’s events.
Politics, at its best, is about improving lives and working together to tackle issues that will set future generations up for success. Political violence, including violent rhetoric and violent actions like what took place in Pennsylvania this weekend, has no place in American society and must be stopped. We must do better. The children are watching.”
