Today we’re seeing a lot of media commentary aimed at conservatives who questioned whether or not the bombs sent to Democrats, CNN and this morning, Robert De Niro, were hoaxes or not. For example:
Trump backers who have suggested the bombs are a liberal hoax:
Ann Coulter
Rush Limbaugh
Michael Savage
James Woods
Mike Flynn Jr.
Frank Gaffney
Kurt Schlichter
Candace Owens
David Horowitz
John Cardillo
Laura Loomer
Jacob Wohl
Chadwick Moore

Asking for a friend: Is it OK for the New York Times to report that investigators are examining the possibility that this was all a hoax?
investigators are “examining the possibility that they were hoax devices that…would not have exploded.” https://t.co/mCH4xjgiLH

From the New York Times:
Was the fake ISIS flag parodying “Larry the Cable Guy” a clue?
At least one of the apparent pipe bombs sent to political figures around the country contained a parody image of the ISIS flag, with part of the terror group’s insignia replaced with the words 'get ‘er done' https://t.co/m5gngFQoFq
