Do you think Trump had any knowledge of the pipe bombs? [View all]

Before they were mailed?

At a rally in Wisconsin tonight, he was blaming the media for making a big deal out of a few pipe-bombs. He wanted people to believe that it was their reporting that was the problem.

He accepts no responsibility.

I only watched a small excerpt so I don't know if he body-slammed anybody??
