Stars At Primetime Emmys Silent Hours After 2nd Trump Assassination Attempt

Stars at the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday were silent hours after authorities said there had been a second assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump.

The ABC broadcast from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles lasted for more than three hours, and not one presenter or winner mentioned a single word about the plot to kill Trump, this time at his golf club in Florida.

Secret Service personnel opened fire on a man who poked a rifle muzzle through a fence at Trump International Golf Course West Palm Beach. The suspect fled and was later arrested. CNN reported that Trump returned to his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach after the incident.

During the broadcast, several stars did get political despite not mentioning Trump. One took a swipe at the former president’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH). Actress Candice Bergen recalled playing unmarried, pregnant news anchor “Murphy Brown” and being criticized by then-Vice President Dan Quayle in the 1990s.
