<p>A Democratic congressman’s field director said in a now-deleted social media post that she hopes the shooter in the attempted killing of President Donald Trump takes shooting lessons “so you don’t miss next time.”</p>
<p>A screenshot of a now-deleted post made by Jacqueline Marsaw, the field director for Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), reads: “I don’t condone violence but please get you some shooting lessons so you don’t miss next time ooops that wasn’t me talking.”</p>
<p>Congressman Thompson previously attempted to strip former President Donald Trump of Secret Service protection.</p>

<p>The Mississippi Republican Party responded to Marsaw’s comments, calling on the Mississippi Democratic Party to “repudiate these despicable statements” and Thompson to “FIRE his field director for condoning the attempted assassination of President [Trump].”</p>
<p>The comments from Marsaw came after former <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-trump-appears-to-be-shot-at-rally?topStoryPosition=1">President Donald Trump was shot</a> in the ear in an attempted assassination as the Republican presidential candidate gave a speech at a rally in Pennsylvania. Trump was rushed off the stage by Secret Service personnel as he pumped his fist and yelled, &#8220;Fight!&#8221;</p>
<p>A suspected shooter was &#8220;neutralized&#8221; by U.S. Secret Service personnel, according to the Secret Service. The Secret Service added that one spectator was killed and two others were &#8220;critically injured.&#8221;</p>
<p>Thompson, a Democrat from Mississippi’s Second Congressional District, is the ranking member of the House Committee on Homeland Security. He commented on the attempted assassination of former President Trump in a post on X which read “There is no room in American democracy for political violence. I am grateful for law enforcement’s fast response to this incident.”</p>
<p>“I am glad the former President is safe, and my thoughts and prayers go out to everyone involved,” Thompson went on to say.</p>
<p>Thompson previously attempted to <a href="https://democrats-homeland.house.gov/news/legislation/ranking-member-thompson-introduces-legislation-to-ensure-no-secret-service-protection-for-convicted-felons-sentenced-to-prison">strip Trump of Secret Service protection</a> with a piece of legislation called “Denying Infinite Security and Government Resources Allocated toward Convicted and Extremely Dishonorable Former Protectees Act.”</p>
<p>“This legislation would reform the U.S. Secret Service’s protective mission by automatically terminating Secret Service protection for those who have been sentenced to prison following conviction for a Federal or State felony,” a press release advertising the legislation reads.</p>
<p>Neither Rep. Thompson nor the Mississippi Democratic Party have responded to a Daily Wire request for comment.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
