“Whether Democrat or Republican, despite our differences, we all desire peace and prosperity for or nation. Political violence is intolerable, and we must unify as a nation to condemn this horrible incident,” she wrote. 

Carnevale continued: “We expect justice for this heinous act and pray for President Trump’s swift recovery.”

Carnevale is at the GOP convention in Milwaukee.

Congressman Seth Moulton, a Democrat who represents Marblehead, wrote on X, “It doesn’t matter how much we might disagree in politics, violence is never acceptable. I’m glad that the former president is okay & thankful to Secret Service & law enforcement for acting so quickly. This is a polarized time, but we’re stronger when we’re united, not divided.”
