Donald Trump Jr. vigorously defended his father on Thursday in a response to CNN reporter Jim Acostas attempts to pin some culpability for this weeks mail bomb scare on the White House.
FBI agents are still examining mail bombs sent to former President Barack Obama, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, CNN and a host of other high-profile Democratic individuals this week, but the blame game regarding the motives of a still-unidentified suspect are in full swing.
Trump talked about the bombs sent to former public officials at his rally in Wisconsin, Mr. Acosta tweeted Wednesday evening. But once again he didnt mention CNN. On top of all that he criticized the media for coverage he doesnt like. And, of course, he took no responsibility for his own rhetoric.
The younger Trump fired back Thursday morning regarding the networks coverage.
Jim, did you or your colleagues take any responsibility for your rhetoric in constantly calling my family Racists and Nazis for 2 years when my wife actually opened an exploding envelope of white powder intended for me? Mr. Trump Jr. asked. What about when it happend [sic] to my brother?
