 that there is no place for political violence in America. Now, the problem with a statement like that is, first of all, it's rote and cliche. A man just tried to murder a former president and current presidential candidate on live TV. We're talking a historic moment that every American alive today will remember for as long as they live. And in this moment, all you can muster is a hollow slogan and empty platitude. Yet there's another problem, which I hope to explain without being misconstrued.
