Hillary Clinton on Wednesday responded to the bomb sent to her Westchester County home by decrying “a time of deep divisions” in the US, saying that the toxic state of domestic politics has created “a troubling time” in America.

“It is a troubling time, isn’t it? And it’s a time of deep divisions, and we have to do everything we can to bring our country together,” she said at a campaign rally in Miami.

She also said that voters needed to elect candidates who could bring the nation together.

“We have to elect candidates who … will set goals that will lift up every Floridian and American, who will look into the future,” she continued.

“What are the challenges we have to meet today so that our children and our grandchildren have the quality of life and the opportunities to give hope to the nation.”

She also praised the Secret Service for intercepting the bomb before it got to their home.

“We are fine, thanks to the men and women of the Secret Service who intercepted the package addressed to us long before it made its way to our home,” she said.

“Every day we are grateful for their service and commitment and obviously never more than today.”

Clinton spoke hours after explosives were discovered addressed to her home, that of former President Barack Obama and CNN, and as it was reported that another device was sent to ex-Attorney General Eric Holder.
