I tell you what I won't do: I won't let the terrorists off the hook by pretending that the atrocity that they committed was not the result of their choices and their actions. This was not a random event. This was an antisemitic terrorist attack inspired by ISIS, conducted by father and son—perpetrated in the name of a perverted, murderous version, as they saw it, of Islam. They bought the guns; they fired them into the crowd. They killed 15 innocent people and wounded dozens more, and the idea that they are not responsible for those actions is something that I certainly will not do.
