White House press secretary Sean Spicer on Tuesday denounced "in the strongest terms" a new wave of bomb threats to Jewish community centers and Anti-Defamation League offices across the United States.

Spicer began his daily press briefing by acknowledging the wave of threats on Tuesday, which is at least the fourth against Jewish organizations since January.

"According to some reports there have been over 100 bomb threats phoned into Jewish institutions since the start of this year alone," he said. "We denounce these latest anti-Semitic and hateful threats in the strongest terms."

Jewish community centers in at least five states and multiple offices of the Anti-Defamation League reported bomb threats on Tuesday. ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt counted the threats as the latest addition to 121 threats received by Jewish organizations since January.

1. Bullshit, Bannon is behind it and your pretend denunciation means nothing.

2. I'd like to be the first to call BS

BS.

It's your white nationalism that has stoked anti-Semitic, anti-LGBTQ, anti-Hispanic, anti-African American, anti-immigrant sentiment worldwide. So STFU with your so-called condemnation "in the strongest possible terms." BS. People are dying because of you and your white supremacist leader, Bannon.

OK. Someone beat me to it. I was the second to call BS. You fucking monster.

3. Why doesn't Spicer actually use those strong terms instead if just saying he is?

He's practically winking at the Deplorables as he utters these lines.

7. WHY CAN'T REPUBLICANS WITH THEIR "TERRORIST HUNTS" CATCH 700 PHONE CALLS??

10. Denouncing the acts but enjoying the fear

It's all about control. Inside job if there ever was one.

Are they doing anything to investigate them, stop them? Obama would never
