The instant, inevitable cries of false flag after bomb threats targeting the Clintons, Obamas and CNN
(FFS, these idiots are incredible!)

We knew nearly nothing, except that the Secret Service had intercepted potential explosive devices targeting the Clintons and Obamas, while investigators also looked into a suspicious package at CNNs New York offices. Days earlier, authorities found an explosive device in the mailbox of liberal philanthropist George Soros. We did not know who sent them, or why, or what exactly the potential devices were.
But John Cardillo, a right-wing media personality, was already tweeting out his suspicions.
Investigators need to take a serious look at far left groups like #Antifa when investigating the bombs sent to Soros, Obama, and the Clintons, he wrote in a now-deleted tweet. These smell like the false flag tactics of unhinged leftists who know theyre losing.
Within minutes of the news of the suspicious packages, the false flag narrative began circulating in pro-Trump spaces like the r/The_Donald subreddit. Rising posts linked to articles about Bill Ayers, one of the founders of the radical Weather Underground organization, which claimed responsibility for a series of bomb attacks in the 1970s. Another rising post said, FALSE FLAG. When you hear the MSM screaming about attempted violence by Trump supporters two weeks before Midterms just remember what leftists are capable of.
Later on Wednesday, Rush Limbaugh promoted the false-flag theory, suggesting that a Democratic operative was more likely to have sent the devices than a Republican. Republicans just dont do this kind of thing, Limbaugh said on his radio show. " Youve got people trying to harm CNN and Obama and Hillary and Bill Clinton and Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz and, you know, just, it might serve a purpose here."
