Rep. Mark Kelly, R-PA., Was there for the meeting between Trump and Malphine Fogel Before the president entered the stage.
“The president survived the murder attack on July 13 in Butler, and he fulfilled his dedication to Mrs. Fogel that he would get her son at home,” Kelly told Fox News Digital. “It is an incredible, provider story.”

During the rally, after his meeting with Fogel’s mother, Trump showed off a graph that emphasized how illegal immigration shot up under the Biden-Harris administration. As he turned to the graph, he was hit by a bullet that pierced the upper part of his right ear by the so -called so -called candidate, Thomas Matthew Crooks. Trump mentions the graph for saving his life.
Kelly compared the situation with the classic film ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’.
“The theme of the film was that George Bailey was very frustrated, but he got a glimpse of life and what would have happened if he hadn’t been there – if he hadn’t been born,” Kelly recalled. “And if I go back to July 13, this is all provider.”

“Mrs. Fogel has the chance to talk to the president and she talks about what happens to Marc. The president promises to get him home,” Kelly continued. “It is a start of ‘It is a wonderful life’ and the chance, or the dilemma, that if you were never born, what would the consequences have been?”
“If President Trump would not survive the murder attempt on July 13, Marc Fogel would not be at home today,” said Kelly.
Fogel, an American teacher from West -Pennsylvania, returned to the United States on Tuesday, after Trump had obtained his release. Fogel was arrested at an airport in Russia in 2021 for possession of medical marijuana and was sentenced to 14 years in a Russian prison.

“I have been there and witnessed, I think to myself:” Oh my god, that small fraction of an inch, or whatever it was, is the difference between Marc Fogel who is at home and Marc Fogel is not at home, “said He.
Malphine Fogel remembered the Butler -Meeting with Trump on ‘America Newsroom’ by Fox News Channel.
“I met President Trump, and he was just as warm as he could be,” she said. “He told me three different times:” When I come in, “he said,” I’ll take him out, “and I really think he has been instrumental.”
Malphine Fogel told Fox News that “it was a total surprise” when she heard from her son of Moscow airport.
“So that meant that (they) had taken him from prison to Moscow … Last week or so, for a crazy reason I had a better feeling about things, but I had not heard anything of it in a week, So I thought that was strange and when he called … It was just a total shock, “she said.
In the meantime, Kelly said to Fox News Digital: “There is a certain time in the life of people where you realize that you do not have forever, you have that now, and you have to get it done.”

“Politically, there is no one on both sides of the aisle that could look at what happened to Marc Fogel and not saying somehow, this is really provisioning – this is not a political step,” said Kelly. “This does not do anything for the president. He has already been chosen. He has done this to promise a mother in her mid -90s – all she wanted to see before she died was her son again.”
Kelly added: “This has been made a promise. Promise kept. It is really provider. It is it. It is a great life.”
