speaks loudly. His silence is tacit approval of violence against his political opponents.

Frankly at this point, the president* could condemn this murder, and condemn the beatdown of a journalist in Montana, and condemn any number of other hateful things that have happened now that the right-wing radicals are so emboldened.

I wouldn't believe a word of it.
