  1. #AndrewO'Hehir: "Bill Clinton posted a message on X late on Saturday that began, "Violence has no place in America." What can that possibly mean, coming from a person who spent eight years as the actual president of a nation that was born in violence and has been infused with violence throughout its existence, and which has inflicted immense violence on its own people, its perceived enemies and an unknowable number of innocent people around the world?"

  2. "What happened in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday night — whomever we want to blame for it and whatever explanations we want to concoct — was quintessentially American, an act drawn from our national history, our national heritage, our national soul. Face that fact honestly, and maybe we can get somewhere."

  3. From #Salon's #AndrewO''Hehir's column: "It’s also worth noting that America’s extraordinary narcissism — another quality shared across the political spectrum — creates a global distortion effect whereby the deaths of at least 34,000 people in a conflict on the other side of the world are transformed into a domestic political and cultural crisis." salon.com/2024/04/28/columbia-
