| MSNBC Suggests Mail Bomb Suspect Reads Drudge Report & Fox News |
| 2018-10-26 |
| [NTK] MSNBC’s Ben Collins suggested that person responsible for the mail-bomb scare that has targeted top officials in the Democratic Party, as well as CNN and actor Robert De Niro, probably reads the conservative news website the Drudge Report on Thursday. MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle began the segment with Collins by highlighting an image of the device sent to former CIA Director John Brennan. On the device, there appears to be an image of a parody ISIS flag that has been circulating on the internet since 2014 as a meme. Ruhle asked Collins to walk her through what this all means for the ongoing investigation. Collins noted that the image basically appears to be an ISIS flag. "But instead of the Arabic script, there’s like fake naked ladies on there, and it says ’get ’er done’ on it," he said. "What does that mean?" Ruhle asked. "It’s a Larry the Cable Guy joke. It’s like, not that sophisticated. This is not a smart thing, it’s a troll is what this is," Collins responded. "It’s meant to sort of symbolize that he’s on one [political] side. This is from a conservative meme parody website from 2014." Collins added that this is a very obscure meme that didn’t get a lot of traction. Ruhle asked Collins about the group that created the meme and what they represent. "It’s just some guy really. It’s a guy in Scottsdale, Arizona who made a meme in 2014. It’s been around conservative web forums, not like young people [forums]," Collins said. "I’m talking like people who follow the Drudge Report and Fox News and stuff like that. It’s that sort of circle." |

| #16 Looking at the pictures of the van makes this all suspect. Look at the decals of Trump. All are brand new. No old stickers, very fresh, very suspect. Like he wanted to get caught... Smells of a false flag. |

| #14 Probably a PsyOp, it is an open question as to the "Why?" and the "Who?". Left -OR- Right-wing crazy try to "scare" people? Machiavellian trying to boost the Democrat's turnout? Foreign Actors trying to sow chaos? Looney Tunesâ„¢ Whacko? |

| #12 Been a long time since Drudge was conservative. Now he's mostly sensationalism of any type. |

| #9 I read Rantburg and Drudge every morning and I never heard of this meme of which they speak. I'm not even entirely certain what a meme is. But I will say this: The timing of the Kavanaugh fiasco, the caravan and the bombs is suspicious. |

| #7 Darth have even money this is a false flag operation by the democrats to try to make the Republicans look like the bad guys and divert attention away from Antifa's antics and the blue wave that is going to be nary a ripple on Election Day. |

| #5 I don't know. It's an 11th hour stunt, who likes that kind of thing? The devices were not live or functional which suggests a leftist understanding of the Law. They were sent to what amount to left wing celebs, Clinton and Obama CAN'T be elected again. Not to mention, who the Hell cares what DeNiro is ranting about now. |

| #4 I think it is significant they didn't mention the Rantburg. Probably didn't want to get on our bad side. |
