Monday Morning Politics: Pittsburgh Synagogue, Package Bombs, Right-Wing Radicalization
Mara Liasson, NPR national political correspondent, reports on the latest national political news, including the investigation into the person suspected of mailing bombs to prominent Trump critics, and surveys the campaign landscape ahead of the midterm elections.
The first minutes of the @BrianLehrer Show @WNYC are disturbing. The remarks by Prez Trump regarding Pittsburgh were not particularly tactful. But was anybody expecting anything different?
— Joachim Kübler (@JoachimKubler) October 29, 2018thanks for mentioning the two black people killed in Kentucky by a white man who first tried to enter a black church during this most horrifying week of hate crimes and assassination attempts, @BrianLehrer. there's a lot to focus on, but that hate crime has been underreported.

If it's about how the president is failing in his job to be consoler-in-chief, that's a bad narrative for him. And this is a president who lives and dies by dominating the media narrative."
