At site of attempted assassination, Trump calls his would-be killer a ‘vicious monster’
Republican US presidential candidate Donald Trump returns to the site of a failed assassination attempt against him in July, calling the shooter, who killed one rally-goer, a “vicious monster.”
“Time stopped as this vicious monster unleashed pure evil from his sniper’s perch, not so far away, but by the hand of Providence and the grace of God, that villain did not succeed in his goal,” Trump tells the crowd in Butler, Pennsylvania.
