Rep. Moskowitz describes how House Majority Leader Scalise pulled him to safety
0:20
Florida Democratic Rep. Jared Moskowitz recounted Sunday how he was pulled to safety by House Majority Leader Steve Scalise when shots were fired at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

“I saw [the Secret Service] getting Steve, and so I popped up and said, ‘Steve, can I come with you?’ And he said to his detail, ‘He’s a member. Grab him,’” Moskowitz told CNN’s Dana Bash on “State of the Union.”

Moskowitz shared a photo of the moment on X, thanking Scalise, a Louisiana Republican, and referencing their pasts as survivors of political violence. Scalise was shot during a congressional baseball practice in 2017, and Moskowitz said in 2024 there was a potential plot on his life.
