Donald Trump Jr. rips CNN's Jim Acosta for pinning mail bomb culpability on president

Donald Trump Jr. vigorously defended his father on Thursday in a response to CNN reporter Jim Acosta’s attempts to pin some culpability for this week’s 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 didn’t mention CNN. On top of all that he criticized the ‘media’ for coverage he doesn’t 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?”

Typical liberals. a) They don't even know who did it and b) Trump is guilty.

Due process? Innocent until proven guilty? Never heard those terms.

The Left Blames Trump for Bombs — And Tells Us to Shut Up

Oct 25, 2018

RUSH: Okay, so the Drive-Bys are out there chastising anybody and everybody who would dare comment on who could possibly be behind this before the facts are known, while they continue to blame Donald Trump from the executive suite of CNN. Jeff Zucker is blaming Donald Trump all over the place. John Brennan blaming Donald Trump all over the place, at the same time telling the rest of us, “It’s irresponsible to be suggesting that you know who’s behind this before the facts are in.” Meanwhile, look at this. I have a…

I should’ve sent the screenshot over to the Dittocam. I can’t do two things at once here. Let me just read this. It’s not a big deal. I took a screenshot here of CNN. They’ve been running this all morning, the chyron graphic at the bottom, whatever else is on the screen, “Ten Packages Sent to Trump Targets,” and then it lists the names. Obamas, Clintons, Biden, Holder, Waters, Brennan, Soros, De Niro, CNN. Trump targets! CNN’s preaching we’re not to be talking about who did this because we don’t have the facts, and yet you think this is not telling us who they think did it?

Wouldn't surprise me if this was done by some Antifa loon to frame all Trump supporters. Certainly they have enough SJW delusion in them to do this sort of thing.

If would be great if the FBI found that to be the case within the next week.

It could be an amateur effort, but I'm skeptical of that. There is not enough public information to determine much, but I would suspect a mail insertion point at a processing and distribution center into an outgoing mail container. It can be done on the floor (lots of surveillance), on the dock, or in the truck at pickup. That requires one postal worker or contract driver.

If it is an ANTIFA goofball amateur, I would expect the time to identification to not take very long.
