Trump campaign apologizes for sending email attacking CNN after suspicious package sent to New York office http://hill.cm/Vc3Bit9

Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale on Wednesday apologized for an email sent by the campaign earlier that day criticizing CNN.

The email, which was sent after CNN had been evacuated due to a suspicious package, attacked the network and featured a "media accountability survey," which purported to help fight "fake news' attacks" and "bias against hardworking Americans." The email was signed by Lara Trump, the president's daughter-in-law and senior adviser to his reelection campaign.

Parscale said in a statement to CNN that the email "unfortunately was a pre-programmed, automated message that was not caught before the news broke."

"We apologize for this," Parscale added. "We in no way condone violence against anyone who works for CNN, or anyone else."

Trump’s 2020 campaign manager apologizes for email sent out earlier today in Lara Trump’s name that criticized CNN and said the media needed “a wake up call.” Brad Parscale says it was “a pre-programmed, automated message” and they don’t condone violence against CNN or anyone.

Almost 2 hours after CNN was evacuated, the Trump campaign sent this email, signed by Lara Trump. The email attacks CNN and includes a “media accountability survey.”

...which appears to have inspired this bomber.

What is it about this nation that shields this man from accountability (besides republicans)? He should be a national pariah, at this point, not just among Democrats.

They rile people up by playing to their fears and scared people will act out.

Of course they wish harm on the Press and others. Otherwise, they wouldn't choose to play to people's fears.
