Alyssa Milano, Bette Midler and other celebs said the “divisiveness being sowed by” President Donald Trump was to blame after suspicious packages were sent to the Obamas, Clintons and CNN.
“What’s happening is all the hate and divisiveness being sowed by the person in the White House and his surrogates is coming to a head and people are in mortal danger,” the 72-year-old actress tweeted Wednesday to her followers. “There will be blood on their hands.” (RELATED: Rosie O’Donnell, Celebs Continue to Slam Trump Following Executive Order To Keep Families Together On Border)

“I heard Mr Trump say these kinds of violent acts have no place in America. I want to believe him, and I pray that he can set aside his usual rhetoric and find it in his heart to protect and defend even those with whom he does not agree, for the sake of the country we all love,” she added in a second post.

Donald Trump tells his cult followers protesters are paid for by Soros. Hillary Clinton should be locked up. John Brennan should lose his clearance. CNN is the enemy of the people. And blames Obama for everything. They’re lives were all threatened. You do the math. VOTE!!!

Suspicious and/or actual explosive devices mailed to the Clintons and the Obamas. #JobsNotMobs, huh?
At least they didn’t ask them to leave a restaurant or ask why they don’t believe sexual assault survivors. THAT would be worse.

Trump got most of the blame, while others accused his “devotees” after “potential explosive devices” were sent to the home of Barack Obama in Washington, D.C.; Bill and Hillary Clinton in New York; and the Time Warner Building where CNN’s New York City bureau operates out of.
What do #GeorgeSoros @CNN #BillAndHillaryClinton & @BarackObama all have in common? All have been vilified by the occupant of 1600 Penn. He tells his devotees that they are enemies. He blames them for every wrong in America.
Is anyone surprised that some nutjob targeted them?

Today a bomb was mailed to the Obamas, and to the Clintons, and to CNN, a few days ago one was sent to George Sorros. If the the left is ‘mob’ does that make the right terrorists? https://t.co/dGeXyB7aaG

It is important that we do not lash out in partisan anger, which is what the bomber wants, but to come together in bipartisan condemnation of violence. https://t.co/Lq3VhfmSVj
