Donald Trump Jr. Likes ‘False Flag’ Tweets About Attempted Pipe Bombings

Donald Trump Jr. promoted a series of tweets supporting conspiracy theories regarding the string of suspicious packages that were sent to prominent Democrats and activists this week.

The tweets Trump Jr. ‘liked’ suggested that the pipe bombs sent to 10 different members of the Democratic Party and pro-Democrat celebrities were carried out by the Democrats or their allies in order to get sympathy and support for the midterm elections.

Authorities arrested Cesar Sayoc Jr., the man suspected of sending the packages, Friday. The 56-year-old Florida resident is a registered Republican voter with a criminal record dating back to the 1990s.

During a Wisconsin rally on Wednesday, President Donald Trump called for national unity and for civility in the political sphere in the face of the attempted bombings, but went on to attack the media for its “endless hostility and constant negative and oftentimes false attacks and stories.”

‘False flag’ conspiracy theories have grown in popularity in the days following the discovery of the mail bombs due to notable conservative figures like Rush Limbaugh pinning the attacks on the Democrats.

On his conservative radio show, Limbaugh refused to believe the actors could hold right-wing affiliations, saying, “Republicans just don’t do this sort of thing.”
