White House condemns bomb threats against Clintons, Obamas, CNN

Source: The Hill



BY MORGAN CHALFANT - 10/24/18 10:34 AM EDT

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Wednesday condemned the “attempted violent attacks” against former President Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton after authorities intercepted potential explosive devices that had been mailed to their homes.

In a statement, Sanders called the attempted attacks “despicable” and the perpetrators “cowards,” saying U.S. law enforcement agencies are investigating the incidents.

“We condemn the attempted violent attacks recently made against President Obama, President Clinton, Secretary Clinton, and other public figures,” Sanders said.

Later, Sanders said President Trump and other administration officials were closely monitoring the "ongoing situation," including threats made to CNN.

His silence on the issue only further fuels and encourages other deranged individuals who might be thinking of turning to violence. All because Trump can't set aside his ego long enough to acknowledge the humanity in his rivals.

is too upset to address the nation. He is fuming that none of these devices exploded. Incompetence is inexcusable. Apart from his majesty tRump, of course.

Americans do want to hear from their President. tRump won't do it which means he doesn't have problem with this. He's been CALLING for this. I believe he and his band of deplorables want this.

The responsibility for these attacks fall 100% on them. They foster hate and violence then are “shocked” when members of their cult take predictable action.
