A horde of Hollywood celebrities blamed President Donald Trump and his supporters — without evidence — for a series of suspicious packages sent to political figures across the country this week.
“I’d be very curious to know the origin of today’s FALSE story that a bomb was sent to the White House in the midst of all the actual bombs sent to people Trump has called enemies of the state. MAGA has radicalized more domestic terrorists than ISIS ever could. VOTE” Modern Family executive producer Danny Zuker said.

Hollywood director Rob Reiner also chimed in, saying, “Donald Trump tells his cult followers protesters are paid for by Soros. Hillary Clinton should be locked up. John Brennan should lose his clearance. CNN is the enemy of the people. And blames Obama for everything. They’re lives were all threatened. You do the math. VOTE!!!”

The nation was rocked by news that multiple Democratic politicians and George Soros, as well as the New York City headquarters of CNN, received makeshift bombs in the mail.
The events of this week come after hundreds of instances of harassment and violence directed at Trump supporters, as Breitbart News’ John Nolte has chronicled.
Indeed, Maxine Waters encouraged the harassment of Trump officials over the summer, saying, “If you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. You push back on them. Tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere!”
Hillary Clinton also recently rejected calls for civility, saying, “You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about.”
“That’s why I believe if we are fortunate enough to win back the House and/or the Senate, that’s when civility can start again. But until then, the only thing that the Republicans seem to recognize and respect is strength.”
Sen. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was also recently harassed in a restaurant. Sen. Ted Cruz was also recently ran out of a restaurant by a crowd of rabid leftists, to the delight of CNN.
But many in Hollywood have only spoken up for “civility” now, when Democrats and the establishment media are targeted.
“A recap: Yes, the caravan is definitely full of MS-13 and Middle-Eastern terrorists. No, the bombs sent to Clinton, Obama, CNN that are physically in the possession of the Secret Service are not real. I miss facts,” actor Kumail Nanjiani tweeted.

Star Trek star George Takei tweeted, “Call me crazy, but that bomb intended for John Brennan—he only appears now and then on CNN. He’s actually signed as a contributor at MSNBC. Guess this gives an indication of the bomber’s intelligence.”

To be clear, no suspects have been taken into custody for the multiple bombs being sent to major political figures and CNN’s headquarters, which President Trump denounced on Wednesday. But that didn’t stop celebrities from assigning blame. Check out all the Hollywood hysteria.
You and your boss are responsible for this. He constantly calls the press “the enemy of the people.” He pretended to wrestle a CNN reporter at a vanity rally. He decries “fake news” when they point out his lies. THIS IS YOUR FAULT. Coward. Sellout. Danger. All describe you. https://t.co/n4922DcFAH

Whenever they say false flag, they are proclaiming their own victimhood, ie “our side’s leaders & media didn’t incite potential bombings by constantly demonizing the specific ppl targeted; they sent them to themselves to pick on us!” Personal responsibility, you sick cowards?

the dems sure are diabolical to send those devices to these particular ppl, possibly killing them, in an attempt to place the blame on right-wing zealots so that … uh … the mid-terms will, um … so that trump can … uh … wait, why would they do it again…? https://t.co/rj14AmbCk9

Soros is part of a liberal worldwide conspiracy (of Jews). Obama’s not a legitimate President. Hillary is a crook who should be locked up. CNN is the dishonest enemy of the people. Putin? Kim Jung Un? MBS? Good people. Strong people. Shame on you #GOP.

Violence from the right or from any one is not the way! But that is why Trump and the WH must stop inciting violence and dividing and must start uniting! https://t.co/BzgHpEIiY7

This morning bombs were sent to Obama, the Clintons, George Sauros, and CNN. Coincidence? Or a blatant pattern. While the press secretary intones through here crooked mouth how abhorrent this act is. While her boss is between Nationalist Rallies.

Today a bomb was mailed to the Obamas, and to the Clintons, and to CNN, a few days ago one was sent to George Sorros. If the the left is ‘mob’ does that make the right terrorists? https://t.co/dGeXyB7aaG

For the past 2 years, the Democrats & the media have been demonized on a daily basis. This is the end result. On November 6th, u have a choice.

Trump made a list. And whomever is sending these packages is explicitly following that list. https://t.co/Jyjslo2irm

1. You couldn’t even stomach typing out the 280 characters yourself.
2. You and your cohorts have advocated violence since the earliest days of your campaign.
3. We are going to bring an end to your despicable regime. That begins Nov. 6. https://t.co/3Tvy4W10jH— Beau Willimon (@BeauWillimon) October 24, 2018

Violent rhetoric has consequences, particularly when spoken by political leaders.
We see this the world over.
Donald Trump’s attempt to demonize his political foes encourages TERRORISM.
