Trump Adviser Links Democrats to Jewish Center Bomb Threats
A senior adviser to President Trump linked the latest wave of threats against Jewish community centers to Democrat in a Tuesday tweet.
Anthony Scaramucci tweeted it is “not yet clear” who is responsible for the threats, noting that some Democrats reportedly incited violence during Trump rallies.
“It’s not yet clear who the #JCC offenders are. Don’t forget @TheDemocrats effort to incite violence at Trump rallies,” he tweeted while linking to an article from right-leaning Breitbart News about a Project Veritas investigation of “trained provocateurs” at Republican events.

In a second tweet, he defended himself after a Bloomberg reporter retweeted his message and added: “A key Trump adviser suggests Dems are behind the JCC threats.”
No, I'm saying until we know for sure it's highly irresponsible to jump to conclusions https://t.co/wynFuUCKyT

On Monday, yet another wave of bomb threats was reported at numerous Jewish schools and community centers around the country.
According to NBC News, locations in New York, Indiana and Pennsylvania were targeted by the perpetrators.
Washingtonian reported that schools in Virginia and Maryland also received bomb threats that same day.
President Trump last week condemned the recent rise of anti-Semitic incidents around the country, demanding, “It has to stop.”
“Anti-Semitism is horrible and it’s going to stop and it has to stop,” Trump said in an interview with MSNBC following his visit to the National Museum of African American History and Culture.
