Donald Trump has this way of denigrating everyone and seemingly every matter of importance.
The terrorizing of Democratic political figures with pipe bombs is pretty damn critical … don’t you think? I do.
Yet the president put a Twitter message out this morning that referred to it as “bomb stuff” while lamenting the possible drag this crisis might have on the future of Republican politicians competing in the midterm election.
Wow! Amazing, if you ask me.
What’s more, I was glad to hear FBI Director Christopher Wray snuff out the idiotic notion being tossed around by right-wing politicians and media that the pipe bombs were a hoax, that the crisis was the product of a shadow liberal/progressive conspiracy to make Republicans look bad.
Wray said in no uncertain terms that is not the case. The bombs were real. The suspect they arrested today in Florida is known to be a Donald Trump supporter. Whoever sought to terrorize the Democratic pols, including two former presidents and CNN intended to terrorize them — if not harm them outright if the devices ever exploded.
This is a serious degradation of the political discourse. It is far worse than mere “bomb stuff.” The president should know better than to say such a thing … but he doesn’t.
I don’t think POTUS took this incident seriously enough. Any member of the government is an individual regardless of Party Affilliation and deserves the full attention to the situation with all the seriousness that the incident commands. I would expect the same from a Democratic President if the Republicans were being singled out by bombs or bomb-like packages
