For some reason, MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell thought Philippe Reines would be a good person to talk to about the recent bomb threats against Democratic politicians and officials:
.@PhilippeReines: if you are looking at who they have targeted so far, it is almost like they are following Donald Trump's Twitter feed #AMR

Philippe Reines, longtime Hillary Clinton side, just now on MSNBC says we have to ask how responsible @realDonaldTrump is for these suspicious package attacks because of his rhetoric.

Exact Quote: "If you are looking at who they have targeted so far, it is almost like they are following Donald Trump’s Twitter feed … You have to ask how much Donald Trump is responsible for the climate where things like this happen.”

Has Philippe Reines listened to his own rhetoric lately?
I'm sure MSNBC really took Reines to task for this. https://t.co/d6H5GNj6Wb

Spoiler alert: They didn’t.
They should have, though. Because this was disgusting:
Here is Obama's former deputy secretary of state, Philippe Reines, excusing, and perhaps even promoting, attacking Mitch McConnell while he eats with his wife in a restaurant. McConnell "got away with murder" on Merrick Garland, so "this is fine." pic.twitter.com/6A70d9hIqR

Take a seat, Philippe.
Didn't Reines just accuse Mitch McConnell of murdering Merrick Garland? Now he's pretending he's worried about rhetoric? I don't remember any of this concern after the ricin mailings to Republicans last week.

Neither do we.
And which Dem was responsible for the Scalise shooting?

So Pelosi and Maxine Water are to blame for these thenhttps://t.co/NrRJX1e4AA

I have to ask;
How responsible @HillaryClinton is for the Ricin attacks on General Mattis and Sen Collins because of her rhetoric— Paul A. Rowe (@paulandrewrowe) October 24, 2018
Reines would be far better off following this advice:
Wait. What?@PhilippeReines was just on TV Sunday promoting in your face incivility and hostile public yelling at Republicans is now blaming Trump for bomb scares?
Time to chill out.— Charles V Payne (@cvpayne) October 24, 2018
Stop. Just stop.
