The 57-year-old man from Aventura, Florida, who sent homemade pipe bombs to prominent Democrats prior to the 2018 midterm election, was sentenced to 20 years in prison on Monday.

According to The Associated Press, the man’s public defender told the court his client was “obsessed with President Donald Trump and grew to believe Democrats were to blame for damage to his van, which was plastered with Trump stickers and images of crosshairs superimposed over the faces of Trump opponents.”
