A 56-year-old Florida man named Cesar Sayoc has reportedly been arrested in South Florida in connection with the string of bombs sent to prominent Democrats. Donald Trump spoke briefly about the case at an ongoing White House event for black conservatives. The event is apparently a lively one:

Awaiting Trump:



A packed room in the White House full of young conservative black people chanting:

“Build the wall”

“Four more years”

“Trump!”

“CNN Sucks”

Authorities in Florida, meanwhile, took custody Friday morning of a white van seen near the site of Sayoc’s apparent arrest. (TMZ says the van is “believed to belong to the suspect.”) When the van—whose windows were almost totally covered with bumper stickers, many of which expressed pro-Trump and right-wing messages—was shown on TV news, some local residents (including documentary filmmaker Billy Corben) noted that they’d apparently seen it (and taken pictures of it) before. Some of the stickers that can be seen in the older photos match the stickers that could be seen in news footage Friday, and one of the stickers in the older photos, coincidentally, says “CNN Sucks.”

@CBSMiami I have some pictures of this van I saw him at a stoplight one day and thought is was very strange. pic.twitter.com/VWUwznJK8k — Mo (@thereal_mo01) October 26, 2018

So a crowd at the White House was chanting “CNN Sucks” as someone who appears to be the proud owner of a “CNN Sucks” sticker was getting arrested for allegedly sending a bomb to CNN. And, as a bonus, Trump appears to have subsequently encouraged the crowd in chants that suggested George Soros—the liberal donor who was also a target of one of the bombs—should be imprisoned:

Trump hits "globalists" at WH event after call for unity in wake of bomb-scare suspects arrested. Several audience members shout out "George Soros" and others shout "lock 'em up." Trump chuckles, points and repeats "lock 'em up." — Jordan Fabian (@Jordanfabian) October 26, 2018

Good stuff.
