Hillary first to speak - Whitehouse silent

It is inconceivable that the first national figure to address this situation is the defeated candidate for president.

Pence goes on stage at campaign rally in PA and procedes to whoop it up with the crowd - nary a word about the bombs.

Utter silence from the Whitehouse.

Incompetence does not explain this. This is a disgrace.

it's most likely just a scheme created by Democrats to make Republicans look bad before the midterms.

These people are so brainwashed and filled with such hate for Democrats that they can't even denounce something as serious as sending bombs to our former Presidents and others. Even worse, I don't even think they honestly believe a Democrat is the culprit. I think they actually just don't care, even if they were to be assassinated, as long as they're not Republicans.

They are all over the internet saying the Dems sent the bombs to deflect from the "Liberal Mobs". Sickening.

so why would we expect him to condemn a few bombs that didn't even go off?

I wonder what he would have said if they had exploded and injured or killed any of the intended recipients?

… Crooked Hillary and her leftist mob are behind these bombings!

Imbeciles who believe Donald Trump will believe anything (like Hillary's child sex ring in the basement of a pizza parlor).

Elections are the target ... one has to wonder what's next. This could be a first wave to scare people, then something more spectacular to frighten the general public away from voting. This sounds bigger than one nutjob, or at least the perp is a very political animal. Law enforcement needs to solve this ASAP.

I'm not surprised that no mention of this is coming from Cheetolini or Albino Rat Pence. They are complicit in these attacks.

That Hillary, the real prez imo, and a target, was the first to speak. No surprise on anything these crazy fascists do anymore, or prolly ever for me. But it is getting worse. On the news some reporters are saying if this was political? Umm really???
