"Republican Queen," a fourth chimed in.

In the statement shared after a gunman opened fire into the crowd at the Saturday, July 13, political event, the ex-first lady said, "When I watched that violent bullet strike my husband, Donald, I realized my life, and Barron's life, were on the brink of devastating change."

"I am grateful to the brave secret service agents and law enforcement officials who risked their own lives to protect my husband," she continued. "Let us not forget that differing opinions, policy, and political games are inferior to love. Our personal, structural, and life commitment — until death — is at serious risk. Political concepts are simple when compared to us, human beings."

Donald, the generous and caring man who I have been with through the best of times and the worst of times," the mother-of-one added.

Woodley has been an outspoken political activist, supporting Senator Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign in the past. As OK! previously reported, her views were a source of tension in her relationship with former partner Aaron Rodgers, who leans toward the right.
