Spokesperson Jennifer Easton made sure to lay the blame on Democrats, claiming the mail “contained obvious threats made by a liberal activist specifically targeting Republicans.”

I’m not saying it’s impossible it was a “liberal activist” but Republicans have a history of crying wolf over this sort of thing. My money’s on them either sending it themselves or it being sent by a fellow Republican who thinks they’re not being Nazi enough.

I’m generally a fan of blaming the people who actually did a thing, if evidence turns up. I’m quite sure they’ll be blaming it on the left, however, regardless of any evidence that turns up.

And if it was a leftist who sent it, the left will still condemn the person who did it instead of making excuses on their behalf.

That happened a few weeks ago to Kansas lawmakers.

“contained obvious threats made by a liberal activist specifically targeting Republicans.”

Ah yes, all those notoriously violent liberal activists.

Conservatives shown actual video and audio of known conservative activists planning or actually committing violent acts against others: “False flag! ANTIFA! Crisis actors! FBI plants!”

Conservatives when they are the targets but there is zero evidence of any kind so far: “Obviously it’s Democrats.”

Also, Trump indicted twice for 70 felonies and the indictments show documents, audio and photographic proof but he’s innocent while Joe Biden must be impeached for his “many crimes” for which there is, so far, zero evidence.
