National Commander LaCoursiere condemns ‘violence inflicted against any candidate or public official.’

American Legion National Commander James A. LaCoursiere Jr., issued the following statement about yesterday's attempted assassination of President Trump:

"The American Legion is relieved that no one was injured during Sunday's assassination attempt against former President Trump. I believe I speak for all Legionnaires in fully condemning violence inflicted against any candidate or public official. It was refreshing to see the bipartisan unity and investigation that occurred following the July 13 attempt on the former president. We call for the same unity here. "
