Pipe Bomb Suspect Cesar Sayoc Described Trump Rallies as ‘New Found Drug’
APRIL 24, 2019
Cesar Sayoc has admitted to sending explosive devices on both politicians and media figures who have been vocally critical of President Donald Trump last fall. When he was apprehended in late October of 2018, his van was covered in placards and posters that cited specific anti-media language promoted by Trump. Now he is directly connecting his actions to Trump’s rallies by claiming that attending them was like a “new found drug.”
CNN reports :
Cesar Sayoc has admitted to sending pipe bombs to CNN, and various Democratic officials and donors. He pleaded guilty last month to 65 felony counts, including using weapons of mass destruction in an attempted domestic terrorist attack.
In the handwritten letter filed Tuesday in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York, he told a judge that “the first thing you here (sic) entering Trump rally is we are not going to take it anymore, the forgotten ones, etc.”
At those events, he said, he came into contact with all kinds of people. “You met people from all walks life … color etc,” he wrote. “It was fun, it became like a new found drug.”
Sayoc also reportedly wrote (emphasis ours) that Trump’s self-help CDs reprogrammed his mind , and detailed the negative reaction he got for the Trump stickers on his car, including having his tires slashed and windows were broken.
President Trump has only ramped up the dangerous and divisive rhetoric of late, often calling respected media outlets “Enemy of the People.” Given that that specific language was parrotted by an individual who has admitted to sending explosive devices to media personalities critical of Trump, continuing that language is not just irresponsible, it’s incredibly dangerous.

So an attempted murderer admits that his thinking was negatively impacted by the words of Donald Trump. Sounds about right.
And when some Trump supporters hear this their reaction will be the same as a strung out junkie trying to defend their drug of choice. Many will deny, deflect, distract, project and obfuscate all to protect their illicit high.
Don't you remember 6 months ago when they were all foaming at the mouth that this guy couldn't possibly be a trmp supporter....then it was confirmed it was and we were told to stop gloating
I wonder if he got a shiver down his leg?
