Rhode Island Republican Party Condemns Violent Rhetoric Following Attempted Assassination of President Trump

Rhode Island Republican Party Condemns Violent Rhetoric Following Attempted Assassination of President Trump

WARWICK, R.I. – The Rhode Island Republican Party is deeply thankful that President Donald J. Trump, Cabinet members, and members of the press were unharmed after the failed assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner tonight. We commend the United States Secret Service for their swift and professional actions that protected everyone present. 

It is especially chilling that this attempted assassination occurred at the same building where President Ronald Reagan was shot in 1981. This third disturbing attempt on the President’s life is the latest and most serious consequence of years of toxic political rhetoric. It has now become mainstream to engage in inflammatory demonization of the President and conservative voices, labeling them as existential threats to democracy. This has created a poisonous environment that increasingly normalizes domestic political terrorism.

Political violence is a direct threat to the First Amendment because it replaces open debate with fear and intimidation. When citizens or elected officials worry that expressing their views could result in violence or assassination attempts, free speech is effectively silenced. The First Amendment depends on a safe environment where ideas can be debated peacefully, not one where disagreement is settled by bullets. Tragically, the recent attempted shooting of President Trump is the latest reminder that toxic rhetoric and political hatred are eroding the foundational right of every American to speak, assemble, and participate in public discourse without fear.

RIGOP Chairman Allyn Meyers stated: “When political opponents treat the President and conservatives as enemies rather than fellow Americans, they help fuel the hatred that leads to assassination attempts. We must unequivocally reject this toxic climate.”

 

We thank God that this cowardly attack failed and that President Trump and everyone at the event remained safe. The Rhode Island Republican Party stands firmly in support of strong protection for all elected officials.

RI Republicans on the Move!!

Saturday, April 25th, 2026
New Chairman Allyn Meyers on 10 News Conference. He’s laser-focused on building our city and town committees from the ground up, energizing the grassroots, and assembling the strongest team yet for the 2026 Governor’s race. While President Trump and the White House deliver results for working Americans, Rhode Island remains stuck under one-party Democrat failure:
 
The Washington Bridge disaster and last night’s RT10 continues to crush commutes, businesses, and family budgets a direct result of decades of neglect and incompetence. Enough is enough. Rhode Islanders are done watching our state lag behind while the rest of the country surges forward. 2026 is our year to take Rhode Island back!

Gun Rights Bills Being Heard at the State House

Tuesday, April 7th, 2026

April 7, 2026

Dear Fellow Rhode Islanders,

This Wednesday, April 8, the House Judiciary Committee will hold a public hearing on a package of anti-gun bills that represent a serious threat to our Second Amendment rights here in Rhode Island. The hearing begins at 4:00 PM in the House Lounge at the Rhode Island State House (82 Smith Street, Providence). Several restrictive bills are scheduled, including:

  • H8073 – A broad prohibition on firearms possession 
  • H8075 – Mandatory firearm liability insurance 
  • H8071 – Background checks for ammunition purchases 
  • H7035 – One firearm per 30-day purchase limit 
  • H7755 – Mandatory 8-hour firearm safety training 

And several others aimed at limiting carry rights, expanding background checks, and holding the firearm industry accountable in new ways. For full details on the bills and instructions for attending or testifying, visit: https://rigunrights.com/april-8-at-the-state-house-gun-rights-bills-up-for-committee-hearing/

These bills are part of a coordinated push to further restrict law-abiding gun owners.

The volume of opposition shown at the hearing matters.

What you can do right now:

Show up in-person. Arrive early, wear something yellow, if possible, to show unity, and sign-in as opposed to these bills. You do not have to testify (though brief testimony is welcome up to 3 minutes max). There will be security screenings at the entrance. Overflow rooms will be available. Even if you can only stay for part of the hearing, your presence helps demonstrate that Rhode Islanders value and will defend our constitutional rights.

Contact members of the House Judiciary Committee at HouseJudiciary@rilegislature.gov, and urge them to vote NO on these bills. 

Spread the word to friends and fellow gun owners.

Register to vote as a Republican at https://vote.sos.ri.gov/Home/RegistertoVote?ActiveFlag=1 and show up in November.

Thank you for standing up for our Constitutional rights. Your support, turnout, and vote will all make a difference in helping to preserve our freedoms.
Allyn Meyers

Chairman, Rhode Island Republican Party

Stop These 5 Dangerous Democrat Bills

Monday, April 6th, 2026

Rhode Island Democrats are trying to ram through 5 dangerous bills that would weaken our elections and destroy voter confidence.

Here’s exactly what they’re pushing:

• S2404 – Lower the voting age to 16 in local elections
• S2590 & S2951 – Force confusing Ranked Choice Voting (already banned in 17 states)
• S3113 – Extend the recount window to 9 days and block certification of winners
• S3143 – Create a new “Voting Rights Act” that turns elections into a lawsuit factory

Republicans are fighting hard to protect election integrity and keep our elections secure and fair.

Share this post and the image far and wide.
Rhode Island deserves better!

Robert Raimondo CPA CMA Announces Campaign for Governor, Pledges to Eliminate State Income Taxes, Spur Economic Growth and Restore Accountability in State Government

Wednesday, January 21st, 2026

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

January 21, 2026

Contact: raimondo4governor@gmail.com

Robert Raimondo CPA CMA Announces Campaign for Governor, Pledges to Eliminate State Income Taxes, Spur Economic Growth and Restore Accountability in State Government.

Providence, RI – Robert Raimondo CPA CMA announces his candidacy for Governor, launching a campaign centered on affordability, economic growth, and restoring trust and accountability in state government.

“At a time when Rhode Islanders are struggling with rising costs and an economy that is not working for everyone, we need a bold vision of tomorrow.”   “I’m running for Governor to make Rhode Island more affordable, more accountable, and more competitive.”

The main item of Raimondo’s campaign is the elimination of state income taxes to help working families keep more of their paychecks, attract new residents, and encourage businesses to invest and grow in Rhode Island.

“Rhode Islanders are taxed enough,” Raimondo said.  “Eliminating state income taxes will lower costs for families, help seniors on fixed incomes, and make our state a magnet for jobs and opportunity.”

Raimondo also called for the establishment of strong, independent Inspectors General across state government to root out waste, fraud and abuse, and to ensure taxpayer dollars are spent responsibly.

The campaign will emphasize building a business-friendly economy where everyone participates, lowering the cost of doing business, cutting unnecessary regulations, and supporting entrepreneurs and small businesses as the engine of job creation.

PRESS CONFERENCE TO BE HELD AT:

THURSDAY,  JANUARY 22 AT 10:00AM

BREWED AWAKENINGS, 1316 BALD HILL ROAD WARWICK, RI 02886
