MAGA Bomber's Lawyers Blame Trump, Sean Hannity for His Radicalization

Source: Daily Beast 

The “MAGA Bomber” who mailed explosives to President Donald Trump’s critics turned violent on a steady diet of Fox News, Trump tweets, and Facebook, his lawyers claim. 

Sayoc watched Fox News “religiously at the gym,” the filing continued. He typically ended his evenings watching Sean Hannity’s show. He also began to feel victimized as a Trump supporter, his lawyers wrote. On Facebook, he shared posts about supposed attacks on Trump supporters. When his van was vandalized, he believed it was the work of “anti-Trump forces [that] were trying to hurt him.” 

Sayoc’s lawyers pinned some of the blame on Trump. “He began to consider Democrats as not just dangerous in theory, but imminently and seriously dangerous to his personal safety,” they wrote. “President Trump did nothing to dissuade this message.” 

They pointed to multiple instances in which Trump told his followers that Democrats were out to hurt them, including an October 2018 rally when Trump said Democrats “destroy people. They want to destroy people. These are really evil people.” Sayoc sent the bombs that same month.

People are responsible for their actions but I don't think it's really a stretch at all to think that there's a sliver of society out there that is so misguided and easily manipulated that they end up doing things like this.

I agree, its still on that individual ENTIRELY. Trump, twitter and Facebook cannot be blamed nor should this pathetic excuse be allowed as a defense.

True, but the dude was obviously a fruitloop to begin with.

When do families start class action suits against these companies for influence in suicides?

Why would it be a stretch for people to think the President constantly referring to his opponents or critics as enemies of the people would influence someone?

If that gets supported by the persons chosen media then it’s even less surprising.

The web works wounders>>>> https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/daily-beast/  

“High factual reporting. “ from your own link. 

They may choose to report on left wing issues but if they tell the truth that makes them far better than Breitbart. 

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/breitbart/

who are extreme right and publish false claims and propaganda. 

Trumps right hand man was a key guy at a propaganda site. Should make you think

It’s no stretch at all to think that weak people are easily manipulated. Look at all the Trumpsters on here.
