After days of fear and shock at the mailing of explosives and white powder to Democrats and their allies, police announced that a suspect has been arrested. Very quickly, that suspect was identified.

As it turns out, all the conspiracy theories about Democratic leaders, news outlets, and anti-Trump celebrities sending bombs to themselves in some kind of insane, widespread conspiracy to boost their public image ahead of the midterms were incorrect. What a shocker.

Instead, the bombs and suspicious packages were allegedly sent by a man named Cesar Sayoc, who goes by the name Cesary Altierri on social media. His account’s posts are a terrifying mix of bigotry, threats of violence, and conspiracy theories.
Sayoc, a 56-year-old Trump supporter from Florida, posted numerous memes attacking George Soros, Andrew Gillum, Parkland High student David Hogg, and many other Democrats and Democratic supporters. He attended Trump rallies, insisted that immigration would be the end of America as we know it, and made death threats against media outlets like TMZ.
It’s highly unlikely that Trump supporters will believe the FBI’s report. A long period of hearing about how Sayoc is a deep state operative who’s been planning this whole arrest under the direction of Soros, Clinton, and Obama is sure to follow the news. However, before the social media accounts can be deleted, the American public will be able to see how crazed he seemed and that he is not a Democrat, but a Trump supporter.
What’s left to be seen is whether or not Trump will acknowledge that the bombs were sent by one of his own supporters or if he will ever call him a “terrorist.” In fact, at this point, America is still waiting for Trump to have as harsh a words for this Trump-loving domestic terrorist as he has for Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin.
