Writer Jeff Sharlet responds to the shooting event at White House correspondents’ dinner this weekend. We discuss the motivations of Cole Allen, the man accused of breaching security in an attempt to assassinate members of the Trump administration, as well as gun access in the United States and the growing violence across the political spectrum of what Sharlet calls a “slow civil war.”
