They should be ashamed. The bombs are real.
I have included examples of their vile tweets after the articles.
It's not just fringe GOP types claiming that bombs sent to Obama and Clinton were false flags. Rush Limbaugh is on air right now suggesting Democrats are behind the bombs. https://t.co/4UKx6SMEPp

Much of Trump's talk about the caravan has a conspiratorial edge. Today's example: "Democrats want caravans. They like the caravans. A lot of people say, 'I wonder who started that caravan'" pic.twitter.com/559APdRBfM

The left is so transparent. They’re already, cynically attempting to equate a mailed bomb threat from an unknown wacko to electoral victory in two weeks. So much for their blue wave confidence. Now they’re hoping bomb threats will turn voters out for them? Curious strategy.

Frank Gaffney — who @tedcruz made an advisor to his presidential campaign & who the Anti-Defamation League reports has influenced violent extremists including Norwegian terrorist Anders Brehring Breivik — is minimizing & promoting conspiracy theories about the mailed pipe bombs https://t.co/CrIlVMoRnt

Its sounds as if these bombs were designed to be "discovered in screening." I wonder if they were actually ticking and had, "Handle With Care – Bomb" on the package? https://t.co/JtE6PdxB8Q

This #FakeMailBomb narrative will work as well for the Democrats as the Kavanaugh and Caravan narratives.

It's impossible to parody today's right. They always go and do exactly what the parody version of them would have done. Not just vile, but utterly lacking self-awareness https://t.co/eeKapREK8H

Fox Business Network host Lou Dobbs asserted in a tweet without evidence that it was “fake news” that suspicious packages were mailed this week to Democrats and the NYC offices of CNN
He later deleted his tweet after immediate and widespread condemnation https://t.co/9DmKPH6xlT pic.twitter.com/vlEu49ftj1

Now they want to make it sound like Trump is the victim.
Culture of victimhood. And they call liberals snowflakes? https://t.co/RKU4p91uXz
