Former President Clinton on Saturday urged unity in a speech on the 30th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing.

“If our lives are going to be dominated by the effort to dominate people we disagree with, we’re going to put the 250-year-old march toward a more perfect union at risk,” Clinton said during a speech at an event marking 30 years since the bombing.

“None of us would ever get much done. Believe me, we’ve all got something to be mad about, something legitimate to be mad about. You made a different decision,” the former president told the crowd in Oklahoma City.

“So, my advice to America today is, that we were there for you when you needed us, America needs you, and America needs the ‘Oklahoma Standard,’ and if we all live by it, we’d be a lot better off,” he added

The “Oklahoma Standard,” former Oklahoma Gov. Frank Keating (R) told local news outlet The Oklahoman in 2021, was demonstrated by “aggressively generous” Sooner State residents in the wake of the attack. 

The bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, carried out by Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols on April 19, 1995, is the deadliest domestic terror attack in American history. It killed at least 168 people and injured nearly 700 more.
