An arrest has been made in the case of packages containing devices that were sent to many prominent Democrats. What caught the attention of many were all the stickers and memes that covered the windows of the suspect’s van. Add it all up and Harry Reid’s former deputy chief of staff Adam Jentleson has the suspect, Cesar Sayoc, pegged as a more mainstream Republican who was probably influenced by, you guessed it, Fox News:
The state of our country is that Cesar Sayoc no longer exists on the ideological fringe. His worldview is reinforced every day by the most-watched cable news network in America & often by the President of the United States, who minutes ago stood in the WH & slammed "globalists."

Really?
Not everybody’s buying that:
Staahhhpppp not a trump supporter but damn crazy ppl exist in all demographics. He made bomb threats in 2002; blaming Bush for that? Nah. Personal accountability – each person is responsible for their own actions

I’ve never once seen Trump or Fox News tell people to send bombs . Are you insane? Seek help.

The suspect being an obviously troubled person with a prior record isn’t going to stop some from trying to turn him into a mainstream GOPer.
Yes obviously b/c there's a nutjob somewhere the President shouldn't be allowed to criticize anything you like.

Spin away. No one condones this. But you knew that-and you’ll carry on as usual. In your heart you know no one condones or prompts *this*

Besides, two can play that game if that’s what he wants:

So then what about the democrat who shot the congressman at the baseball game?? Does he represent all democrats

So, who is to blame for the ricin sent to Susan Collins, James Mattis, the Trump family, etc.? Who is to blame for the shooting at the GOP Congressional baseball practice? How about the Trump supporters being routinely attacked for wearing MAGA hats?

Those would be dismissed as having been carried out by individuals who are responsible for their own actions.
