    On the one hand, I don’t believe in political violence. On the other hand, the morality of assassinating Trump is an awful lot like asking oneself, “Would it be morally acceptable to go back in time and assassinate Hitler?”

    And anyway, we don’t know yet that this is political violence. The last guy who tried to kill him was a Republican who was probably just trying to make a name for himself while committing suicide by cop.
