Donald Trump condemns the fire fire of the house of the Governor of the Palestinian Authority Josh Shapiro

US President Donald Trump sentenced the Sunday criminal fire attack on the residence of the Governor of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro.

During a meeting with the president of the Salvadoran El Nayib Bukele, Trump told journalists that “certainly, such a thing cannot be allowed to happen”.

He added that the suspect was “probably a job”.

This occurs after Cody Balmer, 38, turned into a Pennsylvania state police. He told the authorities that he had “hated hatred” towards the governor, according to a summary of a police interview with him deposited in the court.

The suspect told the state soldiers that he had used homemade Molotov cocktails to set fire to the manor and that he would have beaten Shapiro with a hammer if he had met him inside.

Balmer is accused of the last episode of political violence directed against an American elected official.

Sunday's attack had similarities with the home invasion of October 2022 at the residence of San Francisco de Nancy Pelosi, then the Democratic President of the House of Representatives of the United States. In this incident, a man beat her husband, Paul Pelosi, with a hammer.

Balmer went to Pennsylvania's state police soldiers, according to the police account, and was accused of attempted murder, criminal fire, burglary and terrorism intended to force “the conduct of a government”, among other crimes.

Shapiro, a Jewish Democrat, said that he had held a Seder on Saturday to celebrate the first night of Passover, a big Jewish party, with his family and his guests in the manor dining room in Harrisburg, the state capital. They slept during the attack on criminal fires. A state soldier struck his door around 2 a.m. on Sunday morning to rush them safe.

Balmer told soldiers that he had filled bottles of gasoline beer with a lawn mower before walking for about an hour to reach the governor's manor, the police summary.

Once arrived, he climbed a fence, broke the window of the manor piano room and threw a Molotov cocktail inside, the police said, citing a video recorded by security cameras. He then broke inside and ignited the dining room before fleeing, according to the police account.

Balmer, who describes himself as a master mechanic certified on his Facebook page, remained in detention on Monday. It was not clear if he had a lawyer.

He was to make a first appearance before the Dauphin County Tribunal Tribunal on Monday, but it was delayed after the state police said that he had taken it to the hospital for an unrecognized medical event not linked to his arrest or on Sunday attack.

In January 2023, Balmer was accused of three chiefs of assault for having pretended to hit his steps, 10 and 13 years old, and his wife, whom he also bitten during an altercation, according to a report by the police department of the Penbrook district. He pleaded not guilty in this case. A police officer who answered the incident wrote that Balmer had told him that he had “took a bottle full of pills to try to commit suicide”.

Political violence

In an article on March 2021 Facebook, Balmer expressed dissatisfaction with high gas prices. He showed a photo of himself with the legend “Biden owes me 2 large” and a legend who said: “I'm just saying, five dollars was gas money when Trump was president.”

Attempts at violence and assassination against politicians elected in the United States are rare, but not unknown.

During the race for last year's presidential elections, a man used a rifle to shoot President Donald Trump, injuring himself, during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

In 2017, a man shot several people during a training session in Virginia for an annual congress baseball match.

In 2011, Gabby Giffords, then a democrat representing Arizona in the House of Representatives, was shot in the head, leaving it with a debilitating brain lesion.

Shapiro, considered a potential candidate for the presidential appointment of his party in 2028, said at a press conference on Sunday that the director of the FBI, Kash Patel, spoke to him a few hours earlier and had promised “all the resources of the federal government” to investigate the attack.

The residence was burnt down a few hours after Shapiro published a photo of the table of the Seder of his family, which he described as a celebration of “slavery in freedom”.

“I refuse to be trapped by slavery that someone tries to put me by attacking us as they did last night,” he said on Sunday.

When asked if the attack could have been motivated by anti -Semitism, Shapiro said that he would recover from the conclusions of the federal authorities and the Pennsylvania district prosecutor.
