So he’s calling for the president to murder a person and your defending his position by saying “obviously the president can’t have people murdered”.

Let’s say someone was calling for the gassing of Jews, would you also defend their position with a sentiment of: “ but that’s ok, because obviously a state can’t just start rounding up Jews and gassing them”?

Or perhaps his speech should be judged on his stated intent ?
