Donald Trump called Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro (D) over the weekend.
Shapiro was a victim of an arson attack on the governor’s mansion last week.
Shapiro said, “I appreciated that the president called me, and that Trump “was very gracious.”
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, a Democrat, said Tuesday that President Donald Trump called him over the weekend to discuss the arson attack on the governor’s mansion a week before.
…
“I appreciated that the president called me,” Shapiro told reporters at the annual Easter Egg Hunt at the governor’s residence in Harrisburg. “I actually didn’t take his call because it came from his cellphone and I didn’t have that number in my phone, so I didn’t know who it was. As soon as I heard his message, I called him right back.”
…
“He was very gracious,” Shapiro said. “He asked how Lori and the kids were doing. [We] talked for a couple of minutes about what transpired at the residence, and then we talked for maybe the next 15 minutes or so about a whole host of other topics.”
“Obviously, I’m not going to get into our private conversation, but he’s attuned to the issues that are important to me,” the governor continued. “I, of course, know the issues that are important to him, and we agreed to stay in touch going forward.”
Cody Balmer, 38, was arrested for the attack.
He reportedly told police he would have attacked Shapiro with a hammer if he had made it to the Governor inside the residence.
Pennsylvania State Police released the 911 call allegedly placed by an arson suspect accused of torching Governor Josh Shapiro’s mansion last weekend.
The suspect in the attack — 38-year-old Cody Balmer — turned himself in and allegedly told police he would have attacked Shapiro with a hammer if he happened upon the governor inside the residence, according to court documents.
In the rambling message obtained by Action News on Friday, Balmer takes full responsibility for his alleged actions and tells the 911 dispatcher that he was justified in what he did.
