The BS is blaming whomever for this besides the person who made and sent the bombs.
The BS is blaming whomever for this besides the person who made and sent the bombs.There's some CNN guests and Don Lemon i watched yesterday who were going on about Trump's insulting rhetoric and the bombs, CNN showing past clips of Trump insulting Maxine Waters during a rally. etc. Someone on CNN, I don't remember who, was criticizing Trump for not taking responsibility for his divisive rhetoric. I don't have links I watched it on TV,
What Lemon and others have pointed out is simply the truth. Trump has made numerous comments which could certainly influence his knuckle dragger type supporters to resort to violence, including his comments at a speech saying words to the effect of "go ahead and punch him out, I'll pay your legal fees" and other stupid **** in the same vein. That doesn't mean he's responsible for the current pipe bombs directly, but you can't ignore his repetitive calls to violence toward people who challenge him. And just reflect back on who all these bombs were sent to.
If he's inciting violence he should be charged. I haven't seen that myself, but then again I ignore his dumb speeches & rallies most of the time. Big difference in calls to violence and just bashing people.He should be criticized for his divisive unprofessional rhetoric generally but i haven't seen anything that could inspire someone to send pipe bombs. Show me if i'm wrong.
“It is plausible that Trump’s direction to ‘get ’em out of here’ advocated the use of force,” Hale wrote. “It was an order, an instruction, a command.”
President Donald Trump on Thursday praised a congressman’s past assault on a reporter, making it the latest example where he appears to encourage or support violence. In Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on the day of the Iowa caucuses, for instance, he told audience members he would pay their legal fees if they engaged in violence against protesters.he said security guards were too gentle with a protester. "He's walking out with big high-fives, smiling, laughing," Trump said. "I'd like to punch him in the face, I'll tell you."On July 2, 2017, Trump shared the doctored video, from a 2007 WWE skit in which he is seen taking down WWE owner Vince McMahon. In the version Trump shared, McMahon's face is blocked by the CNN logo.
Shouting "enemy of the people", "lock her up", and all the other scum rhetoric from the President of the United States will inspire the brain dead idiots that think they are "patriots" or "nationalists" to take matters into their own hands.
If you call someone an enemy of the state, an enemy of the people, someone trying to destroy your way of life, someone deliberately pumping out fake news, why would it surprise you the odd screwball would decide to act on it?

It doesn't, but that's a lot to do with the USA being full of violent screwballs.
