HARRISBURG – The Pennsylvania Capital Star is reporting… Ahead of former President Trump’s Friday visit to Harrisburg to speak at the National Rifle Association’s annual gathering, the Democratic National Committee is putting up a billboard nearby that includes some of the former president’s own words.
“Donald Trump to victims of gun violence: ‘get over it’,” the sign reads. It’s a reference to comments Trump made in January after a school shooting in Perry, Iowa, that left a sixth-grade student and the teenage gunman dead, and five others injured.
At a campaign rally in Sioux City, Iowa, on Jan. 5, Trump began by offering “support and deepest sympathies” to the victims and their families. “It’s just horrible, so surprising to see it here,” Trump continued. “But we have to get over it, we have to move forward.”
Pres. Trump is the current front-runner for the GOP nomination for president, and is scheduled to address the NRA’s Presidential Forum.
