The president said Mr. Copenhaver “stood united in defense of our shared values of Freedom, Liberty, and Justice.”
President Donald Trump responded to the death of Jim Copenhaver on Thursday. One of the survivors in critical condition after being shot in the Butler, Pennsylvania, assassination attempt against President Trump in July 2024, Copenhaver had lived with bullet fragments in his body. Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday said Copenhaver passed away “from complications stemming from those wounds.”
President Trump stated, “Jim Copenhaver, a true American Patriot, has passed away — A tremendous loss! More than two years ago in Butler, Pennsylvania, a crazed gunman attempted to stifle our America First Movement. Instead, Jim and so many other wonderful Patriots who love our Country, stood united in defense of our shared values of Freedom, Liberty, and Justice.”
The president continued, “After being wounded while protecting his family, Jim showed tremendous bravery, courageously continuing to FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT, and maintaining a positive spirit despite unimaginable hardships. His indelible legacy of love and devotion will forever endure. Our hearts and prayers are with the Copenhaver family, especially his incredible wife Marianne. God bless you all!”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For God’s comfort for Mr. Copenhaver’s wife and family as they grieve his loss.
- For the protection of President Trump and for wisdom for Secret Service agents providing security.
- For Americans to return to the Lord and to civil discourse, away from violence against those with whom they disagree.
