All of the targets have been frequent targets of Trump attacks. He regularly attacks CNN and rips the cable network as “fake news.”

CNN President Jeff Zucker lashed out at Trump and White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders in the wake of the bomb scare for their sustained attacks toward the press.

Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale on Wednesday apologized for an email the campaign sent earlier in the day criticizing CNN.

The email, sent after CNN was evacuated, slammed the network and featured a "media accountability survey," which purported to help fight "fake news' attacks" and "bias against hardworking Americans."

Lara Trump, the president’s daughter-in-law and senior adviser to his reelection campaign, signed the email.

Parscale said in a statement to CNN that the email "unfortunately was a pre-programmed, automated message that was not caught before the news broke."

"We apologize for this," he added. "We in no way condone violence against anyone who works for CNN, or anyone else."

“I just want to tell you that in these times, we have to unify. We have to come together and send one very clear, strong, unmistakable message that acts or threats of political violence of any kind have no place in the United States of America,” President Trump said.

"We are extremely angry, upset, unhappy about what we witnessed this morning and we will get to the bottom of it," he added.

The president, however, then accused the media and his opponents for the current political climate.

"Those engaged in the political arena must stop treating political opponents as being morally defective," he said. "The language of moral condemnation and destructive routines, these are arguments and disagreements that have to stop."

Less than 24 hours after the pipe bombs were discovered, calls for unity on handling the issue seemed to have disappeared, with Democrats and Republicans pointing fingers at each other for creating the political climate that has taken a violent turn.
