Was Bomb Mailer Cesar Sayoc A Leftist Operative?
One will discover that there are distinct similarities between the backgrounds of Cesar Sayoc, James Holmes (the Aurora, Colorado, theater shooter), Adam Lanza (the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooter) and Aaron Alexis (the Washington, D.C., Naval Yard shooter).

Projection – the act of accusing an adversary of engaging in untoward behavior in which one is actually engaging themselves – has been rampant in recent months on the part of leftist operatives. While these have engaged in incivility, purveyed incendiary rhetoric, displayed fascistic tendencies and called for violence against their political opponents, they have repeatedly accused President Donald Trump, his surrogates and supporters of the very same actions.
Projection has been a go-to tactic of leftists for decades, but its use has increased exponentially in recent months, probably due to the left’s almost palpable desperation.
Following a nationwide manhunt, on Friday federal authorities arrested 56-year-old Cesar Sayoc, a Florida man accused of sending explosive devices to prominent Democrats and critics of President Trump. Even prior to Sayoc’s capture, one could almost feel the anticipation of those on the left in the air, particularly the establishment press: The perpetrator was going to be found to be a Trump supporter, and they would exploit this fact to the nth degree.
As it happened, the evidence gleaned following Sayoc’s arrest suggested that he was, in fact, a very vocal Trump supporter and a registered Republican. Bear in mind that I used the term “suggested.” Immediately, the left began to exploit this apparent connection. Obviously, Sayoc’s actions had their genesis in Trump’s incivility, incendiary rhetoric, fascistic tendencies and calls for violence, as well as reflecting the general temperament of all who support Trump. Thus, the president should probably be removed from office and his supporters carted off to re-education camps forthwith.
The press and the left have made great efforts to similarly exploit Saturday’s mass shooting in Pittsburgh, in which gunman Robert Bowers, 46, burst into a synagogue and opened fire during a Shabbat service, killing 11 and wounding several others. Their characterization of Bowers has even less teeth than that of Sayoc, since the former is actually a Trump detractor and largely comes across as a violent, bigoted moron.
The rational individual, of course, knows that no one is sufficiently impressionable that they could be driven to mail bombs to other people solely on the basis of a prominent public figure’s oratory, and that individuals are ultimately responsible for their own actions.
But we are dealing with the political left, and they are not rational.
On June 14, 2017, in Alexandria, Virginia, Republican House Majority Whip Steve Scalise of Louisiana was shot and seriously injured while practicing for the annual Congressional Baseball Game. No one suggested that the shooter – James Hodgkinson, a left-wing activist from Illinois – had been driven to his actions solely due to the incendiary rhetoric of prominent left-wing figures, despite the fact that such rhetoric was being bandied about in great volume at the time.
