Chuck Schumer compares mailbomb to Republican office window broken by thieves

When the first mailbomb turned up, Democrat leader Chuck Schumer posted screenshots of two headlines. One concerned a broken window at Republican leader Kevin McCarthy's office that police and the victim blame on thieves. The other was the first of the mailbombs sent to prominent Democrat targets.

"Make no mistake," he wrote. "Despicable acts of violence and harassment are being carried out by radicals across the political spectrum-not just by one side. Regardless of who is responsible, these acts are wrong and must be condemned by Democrats and Republicans alike. Period."

The Dems can't win. They stare at the bombs on their doorstops and their first act is submission to imaginary conservative equivocations before they are even uttered.

Update: The utterances have begun.
