Tucker Carlson, founder of Tucker Carlson Network, spoke of former President Donald Trump’s courage and selflessness at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where a shooter's attempt to assassinate Trump killed one attendee and seriously injured two others.
“What he said to me that night, having just been shot in the face, he said not a single word about himself. He said only how amazed he was and how proud he was of the crowd which didn’t run,” Carlson said.
“This is the selfish guy I've been hearing about for nine years? Really, not a word about himself. About his people, period.”
Thursday is the final night of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, an evening focused on making “America great once again” and Trump’s first speech as party nominee.
Throughout the week, Republican elected officials, party leaders, celebrities and voters have taken the stage to speak in support of Trump and his running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance. They also adopted a party platform. Trump’s Thursday night address will be his first formal public remarks since last weekend's assassination attempt.
