Attorney Lisa Bloom is no fan of Donald Trump. You might remember that she hosted the press conference where Kathy Griffin — who was in hot water for posing with the president’s bloody, disembodied head, ISIS-style — tearfully explained how she was being bullied by Trump because he called her out on it in a tweet.
Now Bloom is pushing the tired myth that right-wing terrorism has killed more on U.S. soil than Islamic extremism — it’s important to start the clock at a certain date, though.
As we learn about the #MAGABomber attacks on progressives today, remember: right wing terrorism in the US has long been far more deadly than radical Muslim terror here. https://t.co/LbdXDxFTeU

First, no one knows yet who is sending the threatening packages to the Clintons and Barack Obama and Eric Holder and John Brennan. And second, we seem to recall a very deadly attack by radical Muslims, and it really wasn’t that long ago.
You remember 9/11 right? What a joke of a post this is. The left has started this incivility it was only a matter of time before a nut job reacted to it. Whether it’s a Rebulican or Democrat the person is a fool for doing this to former and current elected officials.

That's a ridiculous statement.

You are kidding right

Body count alone disproves this

You obviously were asleep on 9/11. So sad!!!

How do you figure? What right wing groups have killed more Americans than 9-11?

"Terror incidents over the past 15 years", just coincidentally leaving out the most deadly terrorist attack in post-war history.
Do it with 20 years now. I dare you.

Is this a joke?

“Right wing terrorism in the US has long been far more deadly than radical Muslim terror here.” Are you kidding me? 9/11, Orlando Nightclub, etc.

And we realize it’s a lot to ask, but could we drop the #MAGABomber thing until we know a little more?
While Lisa is more of a partisan hack than lawyer (think Avenatti), what an utter embarrassment for her to use that hashtag https://t.co/o7AGaEilbf

This is completely irresponsible of you to use the hastag and to postulate the way you are without any facts at all.

You have proof a Republican sent the bombs? Oh wait the Democrats don't rely on proof just speculation and false accusations.

If anybody retains you after this tweet….
They truly deserve their shit settlement.
