It was reported this morning that suspicious packages believed to have contained explosive devices had been sent to Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, while a similar device was found on Monday at the home of billionaire philanthropist and Democratic mega-donor George Soros. It was thought that another package had been sent to the White House, but those claims were later debunked.

Not surprisingly, right-wing media figures at supposedly reputable conservative outlets reacted by immediately alleging that Democrats may have sent their own leaders and a prominent donor explosives in order to politically damage Republicans.

On Reddit’s most popular pro-Trump discussion board, top posts alleged that Democrats had orchestrated the attacks on themselves.

Mike Flynn Jr., the son of Trump’s former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, called the news “a total false flag operation.”

John Cardillo, a Newsmax TV host, said the timing of the suspicious packages was “too coincidental.”

Kurt Schlichter, a Townhall columnist, said he was “not buying it.”

Derek Hunter, a contributing editor of The Daily Caller and a Townhall columnist, suggested that the packages may be “a distraction” from the migrant caravan traveling from Honduras to America. Using a hashtag, he referred to the Reichstag Fire, during which the Nazi Party in Germany committed an arson attack to frame communists as plotting to overthrow the government. He’s since deleted the tweet.
