SO YOU see this headline and you think, oh no, some left-wing antifa idiot sent a fake bomb to the Tennessee GOP headquarters, what a jerk.
But that’s not what happened. Kinda. We’re not sure.

From the Hill:
A fake bomb in a suspicious package was mailed to a local Republican office in Tennessee on Friday morning.
The suspicious package was discovered at the Rutherford County Republican Party, the Murfreesboro Daily News Journal reported.
Michael Sullivan, executive director of the Tennessee Republican Party, shared a photo of the delivery with local news outlets.
The package reportedly included a radio inside a cardboard box with a threatening note.
“This is just a warning. There will be no others,” a note attached to the box said. “There will be no unconstitutional gun control in this state, or there will be blood.”
Now, if you were against unconstitutional gun control, WHY would you send a fake bomb to the Republican party? Wouldn’t you send it to the Dems, who are the ones actually advocating for the policy? So, either this was a liberal pretending to be a gun rights nut in order to make them look crazy, OR this was literally a wackjob who is pro-guns and also doesn’t know how to look up the right address on the internet….
