The threats came from overseas. Remember, no one is immune to propaganda.

Are we arguing that these bomb threats would have happened regardless of Vance's lie about immigrants eating pets, and Trump's mindlessly parroting it? Wow! What a coincidence.

And even if they are hoaxes, just like when idiots swat other people on their streams, it's still a risky situation.

Let's not downplay the severity of Trump's lies here.

Are you arguing that misinformation makes people do bad things?
