He's excusing and minimizing. The principle issue is not being refuted, the employment of violence in the streets in the furtherance of a political goal. That he doesn't address, because he supports it. He instead seeks to excuse it, and argue that it really isn't a big deal. It's just a little bit of domestic terrorism, and when you don't have principles to get in the way, the only thing that matters is how bad it looks, or how minimal you can make it look.clubgop wrote:Notice how he doesn't deny him supporting the violence of his allies while supporting the disarming of his political opposition.
