I just felt like I needed to write this down.
Let me preface this by saying that Cesar Sayoc, and Cesar Sayoc alone is responsible for his actions.
This time, I really thought that the POTUS would step up to the plate, but once again, he did not.
It seems like he did and said the bare minimum when it came to what for all intents and purposes was a terror attack.
He Tweets about all kinds of trivial stuff all the time, but barely gave this subject any attention.
He only read a few short statements, that were put in front of him, and he read them with all the feeling of a sponge.
He never even mentioned the names of the people who received these explosive devices, even though two of them were former presidents.
He never called any of them.
Today he was asked if he would be inviting any of the people who were targeted to the WH and he said, "If they wanted me to, but I think we'll probably pass."
I guess we will never see one of those images of all of the living presidents together in the Oval Office again.
When asked if he was going to tone down his rhetoric he said, "Well I think I've been toned down, if you want to know the truth. I could really tone it up."
Today he held a Young Black Leadership Summit at the White House, and when he was talking about globalism, someone in the crowd shouted 'Soros' another of Sayoc's targets, and when the crowd started chanting, 'lock him up' he chuckled and repeated the chant himself.
And tonight at his rally he called out the name of Maxine Waters, who was mailed two of the explosive devices and mockingly said, "I'm going to be nice tonight."
I guess he doesn't understand that Cesar Sayoc was one of those people that he likes to whip up into a frenzy of hate at his rallies, and that there are probably more people out there who are just as crazy as him, if not more.
Or maybe he just doesn't care.
I am beyond being outraged anymore.
Now I am just incredibly sad.
