NEW YORK — Cesar Sayoc, the Florida man who mailed explosive devices to prominent Democrats and media figures was sentenced Monday to 20 years in prison. Prosecutors had called for a life sentence for Sayoc, a 57-year-old pizza delivery man and strip club worker who pleaded guilty to mailing 16 inoperative pipe bombs days before the midterm elections last fall. “I am beyond so very sorry for what I did,” Sayoc told U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff. “Now that I am a sober man, I know that I was a sick man. I should have listened to my mother, the love of my life.”
Prosecutors and defense lawyers spent much of the hearing wrangling over how dangerous the packages truly were to those who handled them. “What counts is what he did, and what he intended at the time that he did it,” Rakoff said before imposing the sentence. Sayoc’s defense lawyers had pushed for a 10-year sentence, saying he was using large quantities of steroids when he became delusional in his support for President Trump.
“He truly believed wild conspiracy theories he read on the Internet, many of which vilified Democrats and spread rumors that Trump supporters were in danger because of them,” Sayoc’s lawyers wrote to the judge. “He heard it from the President of the United States, a man with whom he felt he had a deep personal connection.” Trump and his allies have repeatedly pushed back against the idea that his incendiary rhetoric could be linked to extremist violence.
Sayoc’s sentencing comes just two days after the massacre of nearly two dozen people inside a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, a horrific act of violence allegedly undertaken out of anger toward immigrants. Several Democrats seeking to challenge Trump in the 2020 election have connected the president’s rhetoric to Saturday’s bloodshed.

Please don’t tie his van stickers to any of the recent shooters. It just wouldn’t be fair to point out all the painfully obvious connections
