Line 155: − − ====Alleged bomb scare==== − [[File:5bd0bc7adda4c861428b45db.jpg|right|300px|thumb|CNN opened up John Brennan's mail, did an on-air studio evacuation, then went on a rant for days trying to flip the narrative and blame Trump for mob violence.]] − Just when things looked desperate for Democrats with unhinged mobs responding to the party's leadership, CNN reported it had received a mail bomb addressed to [[John Brennan]], who actually works for [[NBC]]. Nonetheless, CNN opened John Brennan's mail anyway, paused to take pictures of the alleged bomb, before evacuting the building in a panic. Despite postage, there were no postal cancellations. CNN alleged it was "hand delivered." Others received packages as well. − − Republicans were quick to condemn political violence,<ref>https://youtu.be/KwSGYUDQSuY</ref> unlike Democrat leaders, who encouraged it.<ref>https://m.imdb.com/title/tt9115480/</ref> President Trump vowed to use all the resources of the federal government to find who was responsible. − − As soon as NYPD feed into the news cycle that the bombs were active giving breaking reports a life of their own, within hours the ''[[Associated Press]]'' reported, {{quotebox|"tests have determined that a powder found inside an envelope delivered to CNN along with a pipe bomb was harmless."<ref><big>7:50 p.m. − − A law enforcement official says tests have determined that a powder found inside an envelope delivered to CNN along with a pipe bomb was harmless. − − The official wasn’t authorized to discuss the investigation publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. − − New York City’s police commissioner said earlier Wednesday that the package sent to CNN’s offices in Manhattan contained a live explosive and an envelope containing white powder. − − The FBI said the package was similar to explosives sent to former President Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, former Attorney General Eric Holder and billionaire [[George Soros]]. − − The package sent to CNN was addressed to former CIA Director John Brennan, a frequent guest on the channel. The official says that parcel contained no note or claim of responsibility.</big><br>[https://www.apnews.com/5c93ac06309c4ce88e8cd5023f89feca Tom Hays, ''Associated Press'', October 24, 2018].</ref>}} None of this stopped CNN and other mainstream sources from failing to report the facts or whipping up anti-Trump hysteria. − − None of the bombs were active, and the alleged bomber didn't know how to build a bomb anyway. The alleged bombs lacked a detonator device, were made with PVC tubing instead of lead, and packed with a harmless powder.<ref>https://www.nationalreview.com/news/cnn-pipe-bomb-white-powder-harmless-law-enforcement-report/</ref> No one was killed. − − After President Trump ordered a nationwide man-hunt, a 56 year old homeless former male stripper was arrested.
