Senator James Sanders Jr. (D-Rochdale Village, Far Rockaway)
today expressed his condemnation of mail bombs 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.
“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," said Senator Sanders. "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.”
