A Democratic state senator has apologized after pictures were posted online of a group of supporters at his fundraiser performing a mock assassination of President Trump.
In a separate image, Sen. Martin Sandoval, 55, who represents Illinois’ 11th District, was pictured standing next to one man who had constructed the simulated attack.
Images posted on social media saw one man pointing a machine gun at another person dressed in a Mexican costume wearing a Donald Trump mask.
The man wearing the Trump mask appears to grab his chest and lean back as if he is imitating being shot by the man holding the gun.
The performance was reportedly acted out in front of guests at Sandoval’s fundraising event, according to WCIA.
The pictures sparked outrage online and Sandoval has since released a statement apologizing for the ‘unacceptable’ actions of the guests at his event.
He said: ‘I don’t condone violence toward the President or anyone else. I apologize that something like this happened at my event.’
