Trump Labels Suspect in Arson Attack on Gov. Shapiro a 'Whack Job'
President Donald Trump addressed the arson attack on Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro's residence, labeling the suspect, Cody Balmer, a 'whack job.' Balmer, 38, allegedly used Molotov cocktails to set the governor's mansion on fire, causing significant damage but no injuries. Trump stated that Balmer was 'not a fan' of him or anyone else, suggesting a lack of motive behind the attack. Shapiro and his family were evacuated safely by police during the incident. Balmer faces multiple charges, including attempted murder and terrorism, and had expressed hatred towards the governor prior to the attack. Elected officials, including Attorney General Pam Bondi, have expressed relief that the Shapiro family was unharmed and commended the swift police response.
