As you’ve heard, an unknown person for an unknown reason sent crude pipe bombs to several Democrats this week. None of the bombs went off. None of the targets were ever in any actual danger. We don’t know the motive of this attack and we don’t even know if it was meant to be an attack. It’s certainly an act of terrorism either way, but there is no reason to believe, as of now, that the unknown terrorist actually intended to kill or maim the people whose names he wrote on the envelopes.
None of this has stopped the media from explicitly passing blame to President Trump and other Republicans. There has been little to no restraint on the Left in this regard. They have already determined the cause (anti-Democrat prejudice) and the culprit (Donald Trump, by proxy). CNN announced that the intended recipients of the bombers were “Trump’s targets.” Much ink has been spilled and bloviating done about the dangers of “divisive” rhetoric. Indeed, judging by the media’s reaction, you might think that this is the first example of (allegedly) political violence in years, or that every such example has been committed at the hands of right wingers. That, of course, couldn’t be further from the truth.
