Just a reminder that white supremacist terrorists have killed more people in the past week than entrants from Trump travel ban countries have killed in terrorist attacks in the last 40+ years.
(that's because entrants from travel-ban countries have killed zero people) cato.org/publications/c…

First a bomb at Soros home. Now Explosive Devices sent to Hillary Clinton’s home in New York and Barack Obama’s home in Washington, Secret Service says.

What do we expect when Trump runs around the country 24/7 demonizing Democrats at mob rallies? washingtonpost.com/nation/2018/10…
“Excuse me, that sounds like a fire alarm”—@jimsciutto says while reporting on suspected mail bombs sent to Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Soros. Moments later @CNN had to evacuate Time Warner bldg in NYC. Devices made w/ pipe & wire, per NYPD. #Terrorism
Entire Time Warner Center w/dozens of businesses besides @CNN has been evacuated, reports @AthenaCNN. Important to note this terrorist act was at CNN’s NY offices during its morning broadcast from NYC. #CNN has offices elsewhere. Seems bomber wanted the drama of on-air discovery.
