Hate speech on the suspect’s van is Exhibit A, combined with selection of targets, showing political motive in this terrorist attack. Anybody who conspired or aided him must be apprehended & held accountable. The investigation must continue.
The arrest today shows effective & rapid progress. To all the law enforcement officials, postal workers, & private citizens who helped to apprehend this terrorist: Thank you for your professionalism & bravery.
This terrorist attack should remind everyone—especially President Trump: Hateful words can have real & destructive consequences. Vitriol can breed violence.
When terrorists strike, we must come together. The President must heed his own call to unify the nation—& immediately cease attacking our free press.
