In a tweet this morning, Trump blamed the media for the anger and hate in the society. He wrote, “A very big part of the Anger we see today in our society is caused by the purposely false and inaccurate reporting of the Mainstream Media that I refer to as Fake News. It has gotten so bad and hateful that it is beyond description. Mainstream Media must clean up its act, FAST!”
Former Director John Brennan, one of the targets of the mail bomb, slammed Trump. He tweeted, “Stop blaming others. Look in the mirror. Your inflammatory rhetoric, insults, lies, & encouragement of physical violence are disgraceful. Clean up your act….try to act Presidential. The American people deserve much better. BTW, your critics will not be intimidated into silence.”
Meanwhile, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said Trump spoke to him about the ongoing investigation into the mail bombs.
