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, Hes a member. Grab him, Moskowitz told CNNs 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.
