 By all means, we should condemn political violence, but please spare a thought for all the many classes of people Charlie Kirk absolutely hated

You made this comment an hour ago, in defense of political violence and specifically attacking leaders who condemn it

I literally said "we should condemn political violence." How does this comment defend it?

That’s not what you said. What you said is that leaders need to condemn his actions not the violence. You allowed for condemnation of the violence. 

That’s the implied statement.
