I mean, I think you always have to be open to the idea of like what new evidence.

If your views don't change over time and to some degree, something might be wrong.

I don't mean core principles.

Sometimes those can be right.

Although sometimes those can be wrong too, but

Over the course of a lifetime, you begin to see things a little bit differently because the evidence tends to move in one direction or the other.

So let's see what happens with this situation and any subsequent one.

What I would say is in general, no.

But in terms of a changing of the views, again, we'll see what happens.

But what I would say is in some ways it reaffirmed them.

But I did feel a duty to say as someone who was – I occupy a space to –

you know, the political adversary of someone like, uh, Charlie Kirk.

I did feel the need to come out and be very, very clear that I think what happened to him is unconscionable, a horror, in no way defensible, counteractive, um, uh, to the political project that all of us are trying to move forward.

Like, it's bad.

Bad, bad, bad.

Unethical, bad, disastrous.

I think it's important that people of all political persuasions make a very clear statement about that in public.

And I did that yesterday, and here I am going to reaffirm that today.

I think anyone can understand, oh, here's a person or some kind of abstract entity saying,

I didn't like, and therefore they're gone.
