Donald Trump went on Meet the Press today, and said some words he knows he’s expected to say: “It’s terrible. He’s a maniac.”

Then he proceeded to say the right wing incitement against Planned Parenthood had absolutely nothing to do with the attack in Colorado, but nevertheless he understands why someone would attack them.

“I will tell you there is a tremendous group of people that think it’s terrible, all of the videos that they’ve seen with some of these people from Planned Parenthood talking about it like you’re selling parts to a car … there are a lot of people that are very unhappy about that.”

This is the Trump style: tacitly (and sometimes openly) condoning violence against his political enemies.
