'A License to Violently Act Out': Mom of Alleged MAGABomber Calls Out Trump's Rhetoric in Letter

‘A License to Violently Act Out’: Mom of Alleged MAGABomber Calls Out Trump’s Rhetoric in Letter
by Colin Kalmbacher | 2:24 pm, November 5th, 2018

The mother of alleged MAGABomber Cesar Sayoc penned an open letter to ABC in which she called on President Donald Trump to stop his “War” rhetoric against Democrats and the news media, saying that such messages are taken “as a license to violently act out in our country.”

Madeline Sayoc‘s words are making waves. Trump’s rhetoric had already been blamed after a recent surge in right-wing extremist violence. Now another such condemnation has come from the mother of the man alleged to have targeted several high-profile Democrats and liberal media figures with a series of pipe bombs.

Near the end of her letter, she writes:

[O]ur political leaders, like our President, Donald Trump, need to recognize that there are many sick people in this country who take their rhetoric and words of “War with the Media” and “War with the Democrats” to heart and view such messages as a license to violently act out in our country. This type of talk excites and incites and is unacceptable.

Shit, Trump is practically egged on by a 24/7 network dedicated to trashing liberalism. It's time to end the hate machine!

Both are equally responsible for the domestic terrorist/hate filled crimes that have increased under the pseudo prez.
