Hmm, Trump just went ahead and called the firebombers Clinton supporters and animals

[Godhumor]

Animals representing Hillary Clinton and Dems in North Carolina just firebombed our office in Orange County because we are winning @NCGOP

Two things: 1) I highly, highly doubt this was the work of Clinton supporters and 2) "animals" is full on a signal to the David Duke crowd


What an asshole.

1. Reichstag Fire, just about on time don't you think???

[jberryhill]

2. No one knows who is responsible, and accusations are inappropriate either way

[winstars]

4. No, I really believe that these fucks did it to themselves. My observation is entirely appropriate.

For me to think.

10. that is my thought as well.....he's the master of bait and switch. He needs to pivot off the sexual

assault conversations.....so let's let the office be attacked and blame us for it. More outrage for his base!

15. Hillary has never incited violence and tRump does so daily.

Now he has accused Hillary supporters of this crime. It's not hard to put 2 and 2 together.

3. Probably that 400 lb guy got off the bed and did the arson

Never forget that it was Hitler who set up his troops to create phoney Polish attacks to justify his invasion of Poland. Smells of false flag to me.

5. I think it was a deplorable

Trying to make it look like Democrats.

[semby2]

6. Yep

I was expecting that. Truly shocking when I thought I couldn't be shocked anymore. He doesn't even wait for the investigation.

7. Donald Trump is the only candidate in this election to have used the rhetoric of violence.

I can't believe that I seriously have to think that a candidate for US President from a major party might actually have orchestrated this attack. Maybe the parallels to the Reichstag fire are just coincidences, but he's desperate for something to change the dynamic of this election. He has people working for him, like David Bossie, who would do anything to destroy Hillary Clinton.

Then again, Trump is an extreme candidate and there are extremists on the Left too. But, with Hillary ahead in the polls it makes no sense for a Hillary supporter to do this now. There are also Trump supporters who are disillusioned with the national Republican Party leadership for their lack of support of Trump.

Whatever the truth, this is a sign that things are getting out of hand and Steve Bannon really does want to burn the system to the ground.

Update: I will add that nobody seems to know who spray painted the cars at the Trump rally in NH this weekend. The question is why are these things happening now and are they coordinated. Is Trump enough of a narcissist to light the country on fire to feed his ego and are there enough people willing to help him do it?

8. Sure. When Trumps fly.

Dumbass thinks we will fall for that BS when he has spent last 24 hours making up reasons why election will be rigged. The fire is just a tad too convenient. I think the sulfur smell is on HIS fingers, from lighting matches.

9. Remember in 2008 when a young woman

volunteering (or else a low level employee) cut a backwards B on her cheek and said it was Obama supporters? Days later she admitted she did it to herself looking in a mirror.

People do this kind of thing.

[LeftRant]

11. Hah, I remember that.

12. "Shoot off mouth first. Ask questions later"

[Gothmog]

13. Compare Trump's sad response to Hillary Clinton's response

[anamandujano]

16. Very nice to see those tweets. Thank you.

[Madam45for2923]

14. Ah that's much worse than deplorables! Calling us animals!
