Right.
One suspect seems to support Trump. The other guy allegedly supported Bernie.
The supposed Trump supporter did something violent to perceived political opponents. The alleged Bernie supporter did something violent to perceived political opponents.
Trump calls for and/or celebrates physical violence at rallies, vilifies and dehumanizes his enemies, and has called the press “enemies of the people.” Bernie . . . um . . . Bernie . . .
Um . . .

Same thing!
Thank you, Senator Graham, for once again demonstrating the kind of principle and moral courage to which we’ve become accustomed.
Such an earnest sounding faux plea and yet another pearl clutching moment from Pinocchio’s little lap dog; Graham, momentarily, moves head from posterior body cavity into the sand.
I could almost hear Lindsey swooning from here…
Fuck you Graham. There’s an infinite supply of stupid people. When a politician says “won’t somebody do something about this horrible so-and-so”, a stupid is incited to “do something”. See Palin, 2011.
As someone else pointed out on Twitter: Bernie Sanders never targeted Steve Scalise or any of the Republicans on that fields specifically. Unlike Trump.
You couldn’t blame Bernie since Bernie didn’t incite that shooter.
Trump incited and continues to incite this violence, Lindsey. Man you are cruising for some kind of payback for every bit of this yourself.
Lindsey doesn’t blame Putin for attacking our election process either. Probably doesn’t blame Judas for betraying Jesus either. Ms. Graham needs to find another golfing buddy before he ends up being tried by the World Court for collaborating with a known NeoNazi who sends infants and toddlers to concentration camps.
Everything became dangerous once that woman was unleashed on the electorate. Putin saw his chance and went right for our democracy with Trump.
Scalice voted 90 times to shred healthcare coverage for those with pre-existing conditions. He brought his shooting upon himself. Nothing is more devastating to a middle class family than to see their whole life savings disappear overnight while their loved one dies in anguish. That shooting was bound to happen to one of them just like the French or Russian Revolution. You just can’t push a grieving man that far without there being blowback.
Obama and the rest of the Dems targeted by these pipe bombs never took away anybody’s guns, made them have an abortion, date a gay or take in an illegal (although many GOP voters see nothing wrong with hiring them to do work around their houses). This spade of domestic violence is all because The GOP Fuhrer has been stoking the fires of NeoNazi hate.
We have seen their torches, cars crashing into crowds and now attempts to cause another Oklahoma City bombing. This is not the work of one man…other than Donald J. Trump.
That attempted analogy between Trump and Sanders is completely bogus and Graham knows that perfectly well. And when this is all over, it’s people like Graham, the ones who knew better but went along anyway, that we’ll have the most contempt for.
That is an apples to Oranges comparison Senator. Yes, the actual perpetrator is ultimately guilty, but Trump is aiding and abetting the act. As a prosecutor you should know the difference.
“I didn’t blame Bernie Sanders when a Bernie supporter shot Congressman Steve Scalise.”
Of course not! It wouldn’t have made any sense to do so, because Bernie Sanders didn’t encourage violence against others, you dimwit!
So all the packages were mailed from FL. Hmmmm Margo a Logo . Now what?
Yeah, what about the nutjob who shot up a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs “because of the babies” it was supposedly slicing and dicing. And the other nutjob who brought a loaded automatic weapon to the pizza parlor in DC to rescue the kids who were purportedly being trafficked as sex slaves by Hillary Clinton.
Not only is Trump not accepting responsibility, he’s actually blaming CNN! Just unbelievable. Any time soon, we’ll here from him on how Khashoggi deserved to be dismembered.
SUCK SUCK SUCK…God he’s a reprehensible little toad. GIVE IT UP Linds!
Lindsey, inciting a riot, even if the person only speaks and does not participate in said riot can still get a person in trouble. trump has repeatedly egged on violence at his rallies and uniformly blamed democrats for every ill known to mankind since creation. So, I would place blame at his feet for this abhorrent set of acts.
Yes, blame the perp, but also blame the guy who said such behavior is ok.
What would Lindsey say then?
This is about emotion, not logic.
Edit
Lindsey, let’s us ask the perp when they are caught why they did this and where the idea came from. If they say “trump said to do it” waddya gonna say then? We don’t know yet the full story but if I were to bet I’d say two things. One, this is a trump supporter and two the person is not skilled at bomb making… thankfully.
