Eight “explosive devices” that never exploded that were sent to prominent Democrats and although the bombs didn’t blow up, the political environment has.
When hearing of bombs sent to Obama and the Clintons, president Donald Trump was very clear. He denounced the cowardly act and condemned the actions. He calls it an “attack on our democracy itself.”
See part of Trump’s speech below.

Before any facts are out about the bombings and before the FBI has had a chance to investigate, the left is already blaming president Trump.
Former CIA Director took shots at the President during an open investigation.
Stop blaming others. Look in the mirror. Your inflammatory rhetoric, insults, lies, & encouragement of physical violence are disgraceful. Clean up your act….try to act Presidential. The American people deserve much better. BTW, your critics will not be intimidated into silence. https://t.co/cS5qNiuU7o

The president of CNN, Jeff Zucker, attacked Trump and blamed him and press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders for the atmosphere that emboldened someone to send the bombs.
“There is a total and complete lack of understanding at the White House about the seriousness of their continued attacks on the media. The President, and especially the White House Press Secretary, should understand their words matter. Thus far, they have shown no comprehension of that.” – Jeff Zucker
Thursday morning, more bombs have been found and the attacks continue on the president. As of publishing, nobody knows who is guilty of the bombs. Things are getting out of hand. Americans on both sides of the isle need to condemn the attacks and wait for the results from the FBI before blaming anyone.
Maybe we should do what Ari Fleischer
On the stupid “blame game” the media & some politicians are engaged in over the pipe-bomb mailings: Knock it off.
Pundits and politicians should keep their mouths closed and their minds open. Let the investigators do their job. Don’t speculate. We’ll know more soon enough.

Right now, we simply don’t know who is to blame, but what we do know is that any tragedy will be spun into an attack on the president.
What do you think about Trump’s response to the bombings? What do you think about the Democrats response? Let us know in the comments below.
