Catholic Priest Prayed for Trump’s Safety Moments Before Assassination Attempt ‘Because There Are People Who Want to Kill Him’
SUMMARY
Father Jason Charron, a Ukrainian Catholic pastor, prayed for former President Donald Trump's safety just moments before the attempted assassination at his rally. Charron had given a benediction at the event and was approached by a group of attendees asking for prayers. He recounted telling them about his earlier prayer for Trump's safety, emphasizing the risks the former president faced from those who sought to harm him. Shortly afterward, gunshots were heard at the rally. Charron mentioned briefly conversing with Trump about Ukraine before the event, where he prayed for protection and hoped for societal healing and restoration in accordance with God's will. Despite acknowledging disagreements with Trump, particularly on pro-life issues, Charron clarified that his presence at the rally was to encourage positive societal change rather than to endorse all aspects of Trump's policies.
