AFBF Statement on Failed Assassination Attempt

American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall today commented on the failed assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump yesterday at a political rally in Pennsylvania.

“We condemn in the strongest terms the failed assassination attempt against former President Trump. In a democratic society, political differences must be resolved through dialogue and debate, ultimately decided at the ballot box—not through violence. Such acts of hatred threaten our democracy and the rule of law. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of those killed and injured. We thank law enforcement for reacting quickly to limit the loss of life. It is my sincere hope that we, as a country, rise above contempt and disdain to see each other as people and engage in civil discourse.”
