“I'm a big believer in empathy. I think we should have empathy. We should have empathy for our fellow human beings. But what I see on the left is a lot of shallow empathy, sort of empathy that's skin deep, essentially, very thin empathy. They have empathy for what they term homeless people when they're actually violent drug zombies, but they lack empathy for the victims of the violent drug zombies. And so we should have deep empathy for everyone, not shallow empathy. Have empathy for the victims of the criminals, not just the criminals.” - Town Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, October 18, 2024
