Unity fizzles as president, lawmakers, media point fingers
Less than 24 hours after a series of pipe bombs were mailed to top Democrats and critics of President Trump, any semblance of unity in how to handle the issue had disappeared.
Even as new packages addressed to Vice President Biden and the actor Robert De Niro were discovered, Republicans and Democrats were back in their partisan corners, pointing fingers at each other for causing an ugly political climate that’s taken a violent turn just days before the midterm elections.
Democrats insisted Trump deserves blame for statements that have condoned violence, while the president on Thursday linked the media’s “fake news” to rising public anger.
Other key voices on the right even suggested the explosive devices themselves were fake, and that they might have been part of a Democratic “false flag” operation to shift the political conversation from the migrant caravan slowly making its way to the U.S. border with Mexico.
