CAUGHT – AT 1:15 P.M. ET:  By now you all know that authorities have captured a man in Florida and taken him into custody in connection with the bombs sent around the country in the last few days. 

From Fox: 

A male suspect was arrested in Florida on Friday morning in connection with the rash of suspicious packages sent to prominent Democrats nationwide, law enforcement sources confirmed to Fox News.

Multiple sources identified the suspect to Fox News as Cesar Sayoc, 56, a former New Yorker who now lives in Aventura, Florida. Several of the packages went through a U.S. postal facility in Opa-locka, which is less than 10 miles from Aventura. He was arrested at an auto parts store in Plantation.

Sayoc, a registered Republican, has a lengthy criminal history in Florida dating back to 1991. He had been arrested and accused of threatening to use a bomb in 2002 and has also been arrested for felony theft and on drug charges.

Sayoc's white van, which was plastered with stickers of Trump, the presidential seal and other political signage, was seized by authorities and taken to a secure facility. His social media accounts are also full of him attending MAGA rallies.

President Trump applauded the FBI during remarks Friday afternoon, also decrying the use of violence in the political realm. Trump called the packages and the events of the week "despicable".
"We must never allow political violence to take root in America. We cannot let it happen. And I am committed to doing everything in my power as president to stop it. And to stop it now."

COMMENT:  The alleged bomber is clearly a fan of President Trump, which is unfortunate.  He has a van covered with Trump stickers and stickers of prominent Trump opponents.  He made no attempt to hide his beliefs.  In fact, he made no attempt to hide. 

However, it should be noted that he has a long criminal history.  He is certainly not typical of Trump supporters.  That criminal history probably led police right to him, as criminals are fingerprinted, and it's possible there were prints on the bombs.  Further, he is known to authorities.

Already, the vulgar CNN is on the air with not-so-subtle hints that President Trump is at least partly to blame for this suspect's activities, despite the fact that the suspect has a long criminal history.

The suspect is being described as white.  In fact, he identifies as Native American, a Seminole.  I'd love to see how that is handled by the politically correct media.
