Ex-CIA head targeted by mail bomb hits out at Trump

One of the targets in a string of mail bombs is telling US President Donald Trump to stop blaming others for the anger in American society.

The tweet Thursday by former CIA head John Brennan comes shortly after Trump tweeted that much of the anger in society is caused by the “purposely false and inaccurate reporting of the Mainstream Media.”

Brennan, a frequent critic of Trump, says: “Look in the mirror. Your inflammatory rhetoric, insults, lies, & encouragement of physical violence are disgraceful. Clean up your act….try to act Presidential.”

He says “your critics will not be intimidated into silence.”

A package containing a pipe bomb was sent to Brennan but addressed to CNN’s New York office. No one was hurt in that attempted attack or other mail bombs aimed at critics of Trump.
