"You know, the type of person who would do something like that to Charlie Kirk would love to do it to us,' Trump said, according to Cox."
"We can return violence with violence, we can return hate with hate, and that's the problem with political violence, it metastasizes, because we can always point the finger at the other side and at some point we have to find an off-ramp or it is going to get much, much worse, he said."
President Donald Trump telephoned Utah Governor Spencer Cox soon after Cox spoke to reporters about the arrest of a suspect in the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Trump warned that someone who would do that to Kirk might do the same to others and characterized the presidency as especially dangerous, citing that 15% of people who occupied the White House had been shot and 8% had died at the hands of an assassin. Governor Cox urged calm and civility, called for moral clarity instead of rage, and warned that returning violence with violence will metastasize political violence unless an off-ramp is found.
