Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the independent presidential candidate scion of assassinated president John F. Kennedy, expressed sympathy with Donald Trump in his first interview after a shooting at a Trump rally left the former president bleeding.
Trump was only a few minutes into his speech at a rally on Saturday in Pennsylvania before the sound of gunshots rang out and secret service agents raced to protect him.
The former president is “fine and is being checked out at a local medical facility,” his spokesperson Steven Cheung told The Daily Beast shortly after the shooting. Trump later spoke out about the potential assassination attempt in a post on Truth Social, where he said that he felt a bullet piercing the upper part of his right ear and “ripping through my skin.”
