College football coaching legend Lou Holtz offered an inspirational message in response to the attempt on former President Donald Trump’s life.
Referring to Trump as “our leader,” he called on his followers to “do everything legally possible to support President Trump and his cause.”
The remark made clear where Holtz stands on the November election after he hinted back in February, “We need to coach America back to greatness!” Holtz posted on X on Wednesday.
“After every catastrophe, and this certainly is, we have to ask ‘what is important today,'” Holtz posted on X. “Today, we pray our leader has a complete and speedy recovery and that the left turns off the rhetoric for just a brief moment.”
