Mary Trump - The Slipperiest of Slopes
It’s the twenty-fourth anniversary of September 11th and, honestly, I don’t want to think about it. I don’t want to think about the knock-on effects of the egregious mishandling of that unspeakable event that occurred six weeks before my daughter was born on a breathtakingly beautiful morning while we were driving into the city for an appointment with our obstetrician. I don’t want to think about all the missed opportunities that seemed so obvious and even possible on September 12. I don’t want to think about any of it. But here we are.
Yesterday afternoon, one of Donald Trump's most loyal and vocal supporters and MAGA acolyte and commentator Charlie Kirk was shot at an event on the campus of Utah Valley University.
Before we speak to the broader issues here, I want to point out that, to a person, Democratic lawmakers swiftly condemned the shooting of Kirk specifically and political violence in general.
Governor Gavin Newsom of California, wrote:
The attack on Charlie Kirk is disgusting, vile, and reprehensible. In the United States of America, we must reject political violence in every form.
