Nick Viall Reacts To Assassination Attempt On Former President Trump
A campaign stop in Pennsylvania over the weekend almost turned deadly for former President Donald Trump. The rally turned violent when a would-be assassin shot at him from an unsecured building outside the perimeter of the event.
The former President escaped with just a minor injury to the ear, but the incident united the majority of the country, who agreed that violence was unacceptable.
Former Bachelor star Nick Viall was among the celebrities who reacted to the shooting on social media. The reality star shared his thoughts on an Instagram post, calling the assassination attempt an “incredibly sad” moment for the United States. He wrote that he hoped it would be a “wake up call to stop demonizing people who share different political beliefs and values.”
His call for unity didn’t go over well with all of his followers.
Bachelor Alum Takes A Strong Stand Against Fan
Part of Nick Viall’s message called for a return to people “living in peace with our differences.” However, one follower took to the comments to call the Special Forces star out for showing his privilege.
In the follower’s opinion, the issue went far beyond a simple difference of beliefs. They wrote that human rights were at risk amid restrictions on women’s access to health care and the war on the transgender community.
Nick Viall stood firm in his response to the comment. “What will destroy our country is further promoting hysteria and fear,” he wrote in reply to the follower.
However, the major pushback from his followers caused Nick Viall to clarify his political leanings. He added a lenghty disclaimer in the comment section.
“This isn’t a statement about my political beliefs or who I support politically. I want there to be a country for my daughter and family to grow up in. It won’t always be perfect, we will always fight for her and our rights. I just want a country for her to exist.”
Nick Viall and his wife, Natalie Joy, welcomed a daughter, River Rose, in February.
Other Bachelor Nation Stars Who Showed Support After Shooting
Nick Viall wasn’t the only Bachelor Nation alum to post their support for Donald Trump after the assassination attempt. Peter Weber and Sean Lowe both shared the photo of Trump with his fist raised in defiance after the shooting.

See I think this is what is wrong – he made his comment and then someone got their feelings hurt so he had to say these aren’t my political beliefs blah blah blah. No. You said what you said – stand by it. Don’t backtrack because someone’s feelings got hurt. This is why we are in this mess. It’s the everyone gets a trophy syndrome at its finest. You shouldn’t have to be afraid to show who you support or what your beliefs are because the cry babies and left wing loonies will become unhinged.
I would assume anyone would agree that an assassination attempt on a president is an awful event but in the country we currently live in I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised that many would disagree. Thank you Nick, for being the voice of reason. always have been a fan.
Thank you Nick for voicing your opinion, it seems like we can’t talk anymore without somebody wants to put us down for having a difference of opinion. Nobody Democrat or Republicans should get shot! And we should be able to voice that without being persecuted
We have a right to want the country safe for our children. You have not always been my favorite. but I applied for this! Thank you for speaking out 🙂
