Whoever Came Up With The Moniker "MAGAbomber" was a.....

genius. We need to keep using "MAGAbomber" any time this whole incident is talked about - especially when talking to and questioning Trump. He needs that hung on him. Let him know that we all know that he provoked this violence with his violent rhetoric. This is all his fault.

Most likely quite a few people independently made that play off the Unibomber's name, lots more liked it and started using it too, and within the space of a day it went viral.

Trump’s party needs to be portrayed for exactly what it is: a mob that embraces violence, hatred, and racism.

Suggesting he be called the:

GOP.MAGA.BOMBER

So it includes the Republican Party and not just trDump.

Let them all own it - right along with the King of Orange. The fanatics from the Fascist-fest rallies are courtesy of four decades of the Rethug hate jamboree.

Own it - NAZIs !

He will always be the MAGAbomber whenever I mention him. This will stick because it just fits so well. I want to hear the media start using it, like they did with Obamacare.

"It may backfire... and is the same crap Goppers tried to do when muslims do a terrorist attack and blame all Muslim followers."

No. This is not the same. The MAGAbomber was created by right-wing extremist propaganda and inspired to act by Donald J. Trump. TrumPutin owns this. His hateful, inciting rhetoric at every rally pushed the MAGAbomber over the edge.

I have seen no one here blame a race, religion, nationality or culture for the MAGAbomber. That is what MAGAts do to Muslims, Mexicans, and African-Americans.

Then he whines for "Unity" between parties and a couple hours later is doing the same shit at his NC NAZI rally calling Schumer,crying Chuck once again and the old true and tried CROOKED Hillary.

Yeah that POS scab OWNS that psycho that could have killed a lot of people with his Trump influenced hatred.

Thanks for collecting and sharing them. We need all the humor we can get.

One I read was...you can't wear a red hat and not spell hatred. The color red is forever tarnished. Republicans going to have to choose an alternate color if and when sanity returns. Red= emergency, blood, anger, fiery Blue= cool, calm, the sea, the sky Used to wonder how that came about.

All you have to do is watch the pattern: the targets chosen, all of them either high-profile Democrats or other figures who rightly criticized the Apricot A-hole, whom tRUmp repeatedly savaged in his tweets and hate rallies; the inept attempt not just to make it look as if a Democratic Congresswoman sent bombs to her fellow Democrats; and most importantly stated, the misspellings.

That pattern screamed "MAGAbomber."

If the perpetrator’s actual name is used frequently, I fear the ignorant part of this country will actually assume this was an immigrant attack, and Trump will actually ultimately benefit.
