Pipe bombs sent to prominent Democrats, here’s how people on social media reacted to it

A series of 14 suspected explosive packages were sent to CNN and Democratic figures including Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Robert De Niro, between Monday, Oct. 22 to Friday, Oct. 26. Authorities are said to have intercepted all the packages before they were delivered to the targets. FBI arrested the suspect, Cesar Sayoc, a 56-year-old Florida resident, on Friday, Oct. 26. The suspect is believed to be a supporter of President Donald Trump.

As usual, people on social media were divided.

Some people supported the apparent Republican rhetoric of false flagging.

So the pipe bomb is a liberal plot to distract from the caravan, which is a liberal plot to discredit Trump..they're not even trying anymore

6 bombs. All sent to Democrats. None go off. All crudely made pipe bombs w/ conspicuously obvious explosives. All easily screened and discovered. Seems designed for max political/media optics, not max damage.

Q: When have we seen pictures of said 'bombs' so quickly?
A: Never.

Media: "Peaceful protests"

Media: "Eh"
[Liberal shoots up a GOP event]
Media: "Yawn"
[Unknown person sends crude pipe bombs to Democrats]
Media: "BLOOD IS ON YOUR HANDS REPUBLICANS"

How long before the FBI announces none of the bombs were built to explode?

This is nothing more than the Left distracting from their disastrous caravan stunt.

FAKE Russian collusion
FAKE Kavanaugh accusations
FAKE spontaneous caravan
FAKE pipe bombs

Some people criticized Republicans for playing politics.

Trump is quick to tweet about black stars who speaks out against him, but he has yet to denounce the delivery of pipe bombs across the country to people he thinks are the enemy. He is apart of the problem. Y'all already knew that though.

If somebody sent Trump a voodoo doll in the mail, Trump would suspend elections and declare martial law, but 10 pipe bombs don't count because none of them exploded.

Okay all you Republicans with your "both sides are to blame" nonsense, a little thought exercise…

Would you rather have you & your wife made uncomfortable by protesters at a restaurant, or have your wife open your mailbox to find a fucking pipe bomb? Discuss.#MAGABomber

However, not everyone was divided! Some had a humorous take on it. Here are some.

Donald Trump has responded to the pipe bomb scare, pointing out that the bombs were made using American steel, which never would've happened under Hillary
