Clinton says "chill the f out"
Former President Bill Clinton on Tuesday waded into the debate about America’s political rhetoric in the wake of last weekend’s shootings in Arizona, saying the tone of the national conversation must change.
Speaking from Haiti on the one-year anniversary of the earthquake there, Mr. Clinton suggested that passionate political speech should not be directly blamed for the kind of violence that occurred in Tucson. But he said the angry back-and-forth of modern debate is not healthy.
“No one intends to do anything that encourages this sort of behavior,” Mr. Clinton told the British Broadcasting Corporation. But he said the political commentary should not “degenerate into demonization” because it “falls on the unhinged and the hinged alike.”
