Anti-Islam Activist Gaffney: Bombs May Be Effort To ‘Deflect Attention’ From ‘Left’s Mobs’

By Allegra Kirkland

A leading anti-Islam activist with close ties to the Trump administration suggested Wednesday that a string of bombs sent to high-profile Democratic figures and newsrooms was an effort “to deflect attention from the Left’s mobs.”


“None of the leftists ostensibly targeted for pipe-bombs were actually at serious risk, since security details would be screening their mail,” Frank Gaffney, executive chairman of the Center for Security Policy, wrote on Twitter. “So let’s determine not only who is responsible for these bombs, but whether they were trying to deflect attention from the Left’s mobs.”

That message comes as law enforcement reports that “functional” explosive devices were sent to philanthropist George Soros, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, and the newsrooms at CNN’s New York headquarters and the San Diego Tribune.

Pipe bombs sent through the mail are considered a terrorism-related crime under federal law, regardless of the motive.

actors is a result of Trump's incitement to violence! The fish is rotting from its head and it's a danger to all of us. Trump is a clear and present danger who has almost limitless power!

Let's hope that our huge midterm win will go along way to removing this corruption.

and I wouldn't call any of the targeted individuals "leftists." FFS, the Weathermen were leftists; the SDS were leftists. The Clintons and Obamas are all quite centrist, really. I suppose you could call Soros a "leftist," but he's a philanthropist, not really a political figure except for being the bugaboo for Anti-Semites who don't feel empowered enough to just directly say "the filthy Jews need to be put down" or whatever...well, most of them don't feel that empowered anyway...or at least they didn't used to...

There's much more to say, but I don't have the time to say it right now.

" we are watching the most coordinated false flag event of our lifetime. This is nothing more than a blatant attempt by operatives within the Democratic Party to make the GOP look bad and garter sympathy as the narrative spins away from them in the 2018 elections. The sheer audacity is incredible. However, the coordination between media outlets across the nation is incredibly scary. There are bylines being pushed by ABC, NBC and CBS that could not have been done unless they were already in place before this event took place. "
