A golf partner of former President Donald Trump is sharing how he responded to the apparent attempt on his life over the weekend.
During an interview with Fox News, Steve Witkoff, who was golfing with Trump when a gunman allegedly tried to assassinate the former president, said, “I got to see a man who was stoic, courageous, cared about his friends’ safety first before his own life.”
“He was an inspiration to everybody who was around him yesterday,” he continued. “I wish the whole country could’ve witnessed what happened yesterday because they would’ve seen a real leader.”
Watch the video below:
On Sunday, Trump was at his golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida, when Secret Secret Service agents a few holes ahead of the former president on the course saw the muzzle of an AK-47-style rifle sticking through the pushes and opened fire.
The Associated Press notes the gunman dropped his gun and fled but was later arrested and identified as Ryan Routh.
Law enforcement officials said they found two backpacks, a scope, and a GoPro camera in the spot where Routh was allegedly hiding.
The alleged would-be assassin reportedly was a strong supporter of Ukraine, previously stating he was willing to fight and die for the country.
