Whoever sent these packages to Barack Obama, Bill and Hillary Clinton will eventually be caught.

This comes a few days after an explosive device being sent to George Soros' home.

The threat is real. Donald Trump's attacks on the junk food media inspire terrorists.

There were packages sent to CNN, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), Eric Holder, John Brennan and Andrew Cuomo.

The explosives were deactivated.

The packages were similar in appearance and "contain potentially destructive devices," the FBI said. Other officials said the devices looked similar to one that was found and detonated by police on Monday at the home of George Soros, a prominent Democratic Party donor and frequent target of right-wing conspiracy theories.

With the country deeply polarized, the news brought a new level of tension to the Nov. 6 election that will decide whether Democrats can take majorities now held by President Donald Trump's Republicans in Congress.

The packages were mailed in manila envelopes with bubble wrap interior and had the return address of Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a U.S. representative and former chair of the Democratic Party, the FBI said.

The U.S. Secret Service intercepted packages addressed to Obama at his Washington home and to Clinton at her home in New York state.

The CNN bureau in New York also received a package, leading police to evacuate the Time Warner building in a busy part of New York City near Central Park.

"So far the devices have been what appeared to be pipe bombs," John Miller, the New York police deputy commissioner for intelligence and counterterrorism, told a news conference.

Eric Holder, who was U.S. attorney general under Obama, and Democratic Representative Maxine Waters were also among those targeted.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility.

"This clearly is an act of terror attempting to undermine our free press and leaders of this country through acts of violence," New York Mayor Bill de Blasio told a news conference.

De Blasio later dismissed social media postings suggesting that the packages were a liberal hoax, telling CNN, "This is the real thing."

"The bomb that was removed from the building right by here was a serious bomb ... No, this is the real thing," de Blasio said.

One of the gifs that Trump sent through social media.

Trump and his press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders both condemned the acts as "despicable" and vowed to bring those responsible to justice.

Trump, who usually relishes in making partisan attacks on Democrats, also issued a rare call for unity.

"In these times, we have to unify, we have to come together, and send one very clear, strong, unmistakable message that acts or threats of political violence of any kind have no place in the United States of America," Trump said at the White House.

Trump and Melania condemn the violence. We don't believe them.

"We're extremely angry, upset and unhappy about what we witnessed this morning, and we will get to the bottom of it," Trump said.

All of the targets are frequently maligned by right-wing critics. Trump has repeated criticized CNN as "fake news" and disparaged the mainstream media.

"There is a total and complete lack of understanding at the White House about the seriousness of their continued attacks on the media," CNN President Jeff Zucker said in a statement that was read out on CNN. "The president, and especially the White House press secretary, should understand that their words matter. Thus far they have shown no comprehension of that."

U.S. Democratic leaders in Congress said Trump's call for unity rang "hollow" because of his past statements that condone acts of violence.

"Time and time again, the president has condoned physical violence and divided Americans with his words and his actions," Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer and House of Representatives top Democrat Nancy Pelosi said in a statement.

Last week, Trump heaped praise on a Montana congressman who assaulted a reporter in 2017.

"Any guy that can do a body-slam ... is my guy," Trump told supporters at the rally.

The right is already trying to claim this is a "false flag" attack inspired by Democrats.

Trump had made remarks about the individuals who received explosive devices.

The U.S. Secret Service, the FBI, the ATF, the U.S. Postal Inspectors, the U.S. Capitol Police and the local authorities are now piecing together the connections. Obviously, we have a serial bomber.

The package to Clinton was found late on Tuesday while the one addressed to Obama was recovered early on Wednesday, both during routine off-site mail screenings, the Secret Service said. Obama and Clinton were not at risk, they said.

Officials said the package received by CNN was addressed to former CIA director John Brennan, who appeared on CNN periodically before joining cable news rival MSNBC as a paid contributor.

Brennan has been an outspoken critic of Trump, calling the president's performance during a July joint news conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki "nothing short of treasonous."

The package sent to CNN also contained an envelope of white powder that experts were analyzing, Police Commissioner James O'Neill said.

In the weeks following the attacks of September 11, 2001, anthrax spores were mailed to news media offices and two U.S. senators, killing five people and infecting 17 others.

A suspicious package was found at the building that houses Wasserman Schultz's office, the Broward Sheriff's office said.

The FBI said the package was meant for Holder but rerouted to the return address in Florida.

Waters said in a statement that her Washington office was the target of "a suspicious package." The package was intercepted at a Maryland mail processing facility, NBC reported

This terrorist was inspired by rhetoric from some of the notorious agitators in the junk food media.

I'm going to fault Sean "Softball" Hannity, Fox News, Tucker Carlson, Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham, Breitbart, The Drudge Report, InfoWars and President Donald J. Trump for this. The actions committed are solely the fault of the terrorist. No one else.

In regards to the terrorist plot against Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, CNN and George Soros. What do you think of this incident? (Expect the dumbest answers picked by trolls)

This is an act of terrorism. The acts were inspired by an individual who had no sympathy for human life.

This is politically motivated violence inspired by the rhetoric of Donald Trump, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, The Drudge Report and Breitbart.

This a false flag. The junk food media is trying to create a controversy where there isn't one.

We might need to tone down the rhetoric. The president must lead the way to civility.

Now is not the time to talk about this. We are placing the blame on individuals who have nothing to do with this. We have to stop rushing to judgement.

Other

Please Specify:

However, we are noticing the disturbing patterns and it seems like the folks Trump recently called out in the campaign rallies are the ones this terrorist singled out.

CNN is a frequent target of Trump, who routinely calls the news media the "enemy of the people" and belittles the coverage as "fake news."

Enough is enough.

Brennan, a former CIA chief was targeted. Brennan is a contributor to MSNBC not CNN. The explosive directed to CNN was meant for the former CIA operative.

You already have folks claiming that the bomber is a Democrat.

It's amazing that a potential terrorist attack being foiled is now political football. Right wing kookspiracy theorists are trying to assume that Hillary Clinton and George Soros are trying to muddy up the waters by sending packages.

Some are claiming that the bomber is a progressive. We don't know the motives of this terrorist.

However, I do want to make this clear. If you are yelling in the face of politicians who voted for the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh, you're not hurting them.You are addressing your frustration with the lawmaker for making a mistake.  If you're sending explosive devices to the lawmakers with the intention of harming them, then that would be problematic. It's a federal offense to send an explosive through the U.S. mail to an individual.

The Republicans are using the same old tired playbook given to them by Rush Limbaugh, Sean "Softball" Hannity, The Drudge Report, Fox News and Breitbart. They are fully engaged in the culture war.

Republicans refuse to talk about the economy, the demise of Sears/Kmart, gun violence, the continuous Brett Kavanaugh hearing or the agenda to fix immigration. They rather get you upset over comments made by entertainers and opinion agitators. The Republican Party is accepting white extremism within its ranks.

The Republican Party has control of the White House, Congress, state governorships and the junk food media. Why are they complaining about the obstruction from the Democrats? You keep complaining about the junk food media. They are holding you accountable for the racism, anti-Semitic, anti-LGBTQ, anti-immigrant and climate change denial rhetoric.

C'mon folks, the Republican Party isn't doing anything to help Americans. They've been in favor of the "status quo" and "white male privilege."

They control almost everything.

They won't if we don't get our asses out to vote this Midterm. The price is too great to allow Trump continue the course he's going.

The Republicans are going to win on the culture war. We can stop them if we get off our asses and vote this Midterm election.
