NEW: With the country on edge over a widening pipe-bomb scare, talk of national unity quickly gave way to finger-pointing.

Trump cast blame on the media for fomenting anger in society, while candidates across the country traded partisan broadsides https://t.co/x81QdURKoO

It's a moment that's given some pause to consider what the hell we're doing to ourselves for political gain…but the President seems to see it as a time to double down on divisiveness, refuse to own any responsibility and blame the media, which was just targeted by a bomb. pic.twitter.com/RuKw7fi0E0

You say there are good people on both sides of a neo-Nazi rally.

Suggest that immigrants are all murders, rapists and gang members.

Praise a politician who assaulted a reporter.

And it’s CNN’s fault someone sent them a bomb?

NBC News: Law enforcement sources say that at this point in the review of the bombs it is clear that some were incapable of exploding. Whether that was a design flaw or intentional is not yet known. Analysis is ongoing

They say to treat any suspicious package as if it were real.

Weird how someone thought the targets of daddy’s attacks – including those he called to be jailed – deserved to be assassinated.

Just a coincidence, I’m sure. https://t.co/DGV8cF7Ljp

Republicans are doing better than Democrats in early voting—and better than 2016.

Will the Democratic Party wake up in time? If not now, when?? https://t.co/tCSfXzD6Ls

If Dems take control of the House and subpoena Trump's tax returns, Gingrich told @ktumulty that the legal fight would go to the Supreme Court "AND WE WILL SEE WHETHER OR NOT THE KAVANAUGH FIGHT WAS WORTH IT." Audible gasps in audience as he spoke: https://t.co/LkE6CbkUA1

Good Lord. How stupid do you think we’ve become?

Migrants are over 1,000 miles away from the US border and could be over a month away from safely reaching America.

Wasting US troops on the border is dumb enough. Having DHS ignore bomb threats for a campaign stunt is horrific. https://t.co/gAsUmqoj1D
