“Funny how lowly rated CNN, and others, can criticize me at will, even blaming me for the current spate of Bombs and ridiculously comparing this to September 11th and the Oklahoma City bombing, yet when I criticize them they go wild and scream, ‘it’s just not Presidential!’” Trump tweeted.

“Trump has no plans to bear any personal responsibility for inciting serial bomber,” read one headline.

Earlier in the week after CNN’s headquarters was evacuated, CNN President Jeff Zucker drew a link between the bombs and the rhetoric against the press from Trump and White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
