own what? that a Trump supporter was a lousy mail bomber?
I guess if the Repubs "own this" they will at least have more courage than the Democrats owning antifa.

Hodgkinson's Facebook page is largely political, and his profile picture is a caricature of Bernie Sanders as Uncle Sam. The Facebook feed is filled with anti-Trump sentiments such as "Trump is guilty and should go to prison for treason." He also "liked" a political cartoon that suggested that Scalise should be fired. On March 22, he posted "Trump is a Traitor. Trump Has Destroyed Our Democracy. It's Time to Destroy Trump & Co." Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders said both in a statement and on the Senate floor that he had learned the shooter had volunteered on his Democratic presidential campaign -- and that he condemned the shooting "in the strongest possible terms." "I have just been informed that the alleged shooter at the Republican baseball practice is someone who apparently volunteered on my presidential campaign," Sanders said. "I am sickened by this despicable act. Let me be as clear as I can be. Violence of any kind is unacceptable in our society and I condemn this action in the strongest possible terms," he said. "Real change can only come about through nonviolent action, and anything else runs against our most deeply held American values."https://www.cnn.com/2017/06/14/politics/alexandria-virginia-shooting/index.html
Right away, CNN printed that he was a Sanders supporter and Sanders came out and made a statement. But Sanders wasn't advocating violence at his rallies.

Dog is clearly bouncing off the walls here trying to come up with something witty as a rebuttal to well, current reality.
Jeez, he was just looking like your typical, shallow trumpologist who seeks a sense of personal accomplishment through affiliation to his cheeto tyrant prior to this one. Now it would appear he has gone into full blown, desperate, "what-aboutism?!?!?" attacks to try to rationalize his (and other crazies') blind devotion to any loon with an R next to their name (regardless of whether they are actually conservative or not). Insecure incels who gain validation through perceived "successes" of the political team they support are just about the saddest incels - I guess when political affiliation is your whole identity, that's all you got. Very Mormon apologist-y. That said, Furry incels are slightly sadder that this, slightly:

Sure. I would. I'd be like, "Yeah, it looks like that guy was a Republican and a Trump enthusiast." And then I'd be like, "So? The dude is obviously nuts, but I have to admit he was motivated by Trump's rhetoric, and that's something that needs to change."
Something along those lines...
eta: It's akin to me, a registered Democrat, bitching about Leftists and Antifa. I want the crazies out of my Party and I don't give a flying “F” if that hurts their feelings.

I missed the reports where Trump encouraged mail-bombs for the people that received them...but maybe you mean a little more broad stroke...like just generic violence....again, i missed it in regards to the specific people who received mail bombs....but then again, maybe you meant a general colloquial for violence like how people say "get wrecked"....yet again...but in all fairness maybe you are referencing his RHETORIC...which obviously can be interpreted any sort of way...like Hillary Clinton's call for no more civility in wake of having to survive lest all ye believe be destroyed....at which point, yes, these are seen as a call for violence...and quite obviously it is only seen as a call to violence by crazy people...and Democrats trying to win mid-terms....similarity duly noted.
No, Donald Trump has not asked his followers to mail bomb his opponents. He’s merely dehumanized them, fear-mongered regarding them, and spread messages that overtly and coyly say that violence against them is good. Some of it is obvious, like praising an assault of a journalist asking questions or offering to pay legal bills for those who crack some heads on his behalf. Some of it comes with a wink, like “second amendment people.” The themes are consistent. Even the “lock her up” chants from the due process crowd really just have a heavy subtext that state violence against the enemy is good.
I imagine you read this as “just kidding” with a healthy dose of don’t take it so seriously. Not everyone, possibly including well known admirer of brutal dictators Donald Trump, sees it that way.
Lone wolf attacks against conservatives don’t quite have that context and you might want to consider it before breaking a whatabout out.
“Our democracy has no room for inciting violence or endangering the public, no matter the ideology of those who commit such acts,” Pelosi said in a statement released late Tuesday. “The violent actions of people calling themselves antifa in Berkeley this weekend deserve unequivocal condemnation, and the perpetrators should be arrested and prosecuted.” -Nancy Pelosi
