Krauthammer: Vitriol and Apocalyptic Rhetoric in Politics Is Not Unilateral

EXCERPT:

KRAUTHAMMER: "There is and I think he rose to the occasion in the remarks he made that you showed in the video before. But he’s not blameless, this is not a one party thing. He was quite aggressive in the campaign, he says he’s a fighter, a counter puncher. He was even aggressive against his Republican colleagues, his Republican opponents. I think this is a time when we can all look back and say neither side here is blameless, time to do the obvious to declare a kind of armistice on the vitriol and the apocalyptic rhetoric and simply say, 'We are a republic. We have a loyal opposition. Let’s be loyal, let’s be civil on both sides.' I think it can be done, I don’t despair of this. I think maybe an event like this, perhaps it will have to be some other event which would be tragic. Perhaps that can happen, and I’m sure the country would appreciate it."
