Olympic coach Kerr, NBA star Curry call for US unity on 'demoralising day' after Trump attack
Republican candidate Donald Trump is seen with blood on his face surrounded by secret service agents as he is taken off the stage at a campaign event at Butler Farm Show Inc. in Butler, Pennsylvania, July 13, 2024. Republican candidate Donald Trump was evacuated from the stage at today's rally after what sounded like shots rang out at the event in Pennsylvania.
Kerr described it as a"demoralising day for our country" while Curry called for unity amid the"divisive" landscape currently dominating American politics. "It's yet another example of not only our political division but also our gun culture. A 20-year-old with an AR-15, trying to shoot the former president.
"This is a time where we feel very proud to represent our country, wearing USA on our chest, competing in the Olympics," said Kerr. "This is obviously a very sad time, just in general, all the conversations around the election and the state of politics in our country and then you have a situation like this, which just evokes a lot of emotions around things that we need to correct as a people," said Curry.
