I condemn all statements - made in sincerity or jest - that threaten or suggest the use of violence against the president of the United States or any other public official. Such rhetoric cannot and will not be tolerated.
Those who cannot condemn the past repeat it in order to remember it.
A government of, by, and for the people requires that people talk to people, that we can agree to disagree but do so in civility. If we let the politicians and those who report dictate our discourse, then our course will be dictated.

It is only on the battlefield of ideas that the best ones can be recognized and ultimately prevail.

Those who know they are right have no reason to stifle debate because they realize that all opposing arguments will ultimately be overcome by fact.
When established identities become outworn or unfinished ones threaten to remain incomplete, special crises compel men to wage holy wars, by the cruelest means, against those who seem to question or threaten their unsafe ideological bases.
In a play, you dictate pace, you dictate rhythm, you dictate when people look at you, when people should be looking at something else. In film, the editor does that.
You cannot limit the debate to being solely in favour or against. It should be more complex. When you condemn, you need to understand what led to it.
