The Depp Position

NEWS ITEM: In the wake of actor Johnny Depp joking about assassinating the president, the White House released the following statement: “President Trump has condemned violence in all forms, and it’s sad that others like Johnny Depp have not followed his lead.”*

EDITORIAL: “In all forms” evidently does not include when, during his campaign, Trump advocated punching protesters in the face, offered to pay the legal fees of a man who – without provocation – slugged a Trump protester in the head and longing for the days when protesters “were taken out on stretchers.”

(Ladies and gentlemen, the Trump Administration.)
