Senator James Sanders Jr. Condemns Bomb Mailers Sent to Democrats
October 25, 2018
Today Senator James Sanders Jr. (D-Rochdale Village, Far Rockaway) expressed his condemnation of bomb mailers that were recently sent to Democratic leaders and supporters by a yet unknown perpetrator. The packages were sent to former President Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Rep. Maxine Waters, former Attorney General Eric Holder, Democratic donor George Soros, actor Robert De Niro, who has been openly critical of President Trump and to former CIA director John Brennan via CNN’s Manhattan office.
Senator James Sanders Jr. said: “These acts, which I believe, aimed to terrorize and intimidate leaders of the Democratic Party and its supporters, are unconscionable, inexcusable and dangerous. This type of criminality has no place in our country. We can have differences of opinion, especially when it comes to politics, but sending mail bombs is not the way to express those differences or make one’s voice heard. We need open discussions and the productive exchange of ideas. The perpetrator who sent these mail bombs must be brought to justice and punished to the full extent of the law.”
