PA Governor Josh Shapiro on political violence, in the aftermath of the murder of Charlie Kirk

The headline of a story, online, from today's Philadelphia Inquirer

"Josh Shapiro says Donald Trump should learn to manage political violence by looking to Pennsylvania"

Governor Shapiro, the Inquirer reported,

criticized Trump and his allies for responding to the Kirk shooting with calls for vengeance and cherry-picking which instances of violence to condemn, in turn raising the political temperature.

“I don’t care if it’s coming from the left or the right, we need to be universal in our condemnation, and the president has once again failed that leadership test, failed the morality test, and it makes us all less safe,” Shapiro argued.
