I applaud Newt's statement. This is the sort of crisis that requires true leadership, to be a leader that unites and heals.
This represents an opportunity for Trump, to show his chops in addressing a real crisis, affecting Americans in their daily lives in real time. If Trump (and Newt) can credibly speak for the nation and not their faction, then they will earn the respect, and even the votes, of many of us who've condemned Trump as unfit, unprincipled and dangerous.
Trump, show us we're wrong. This is it, this is the serious shit, this is the end product of race-baiting by hucksters on both the right and left. Prove yourself worthy.
