When political opponents are. Are treated like enemies, when leaders encourage the kind of protests that can lead to violence, it increases that violence. So It's the responsibility of all leaders, especially President Trump, to not just unequivocally condemn hatred, but to stop the violent and regressive language against political opponents. I'll tell you, first way he could start, he should demand that Mike Lee takes down his disgusting tweet on X about the Minnesota shootings. I asked him to do it yesterday. (23:53–24:06)
