HuffPost
The newspaper’s conservative editorial board said the president “can help the country rise above this madness."
The Wall Street Journal warned Wednesday — following the assassination of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk at an event at Utah Valley University ― that “this is a now dangerous moment for the country, which could descend into a cycle of political violence that would be hard to arrest.”
Political rhetoric in America “is at a pitch that could hardly be higher,” wrote the newspaper’s conservative editorial board.
For Trump, “while this is a moment of personal sadness, it is also an opportunity for leadership,” it continued.
The president “can help the country rise above this madness,” the board said.
“He can say that this is the moment when the descent into political violence must stop, not least in honor of Charlie Kirk’s willingness to win by debate, not a resort to thuggery or violence,” it concluded.
