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
