Washington
\nUS President Donald Trump accused the American media of using the arrest of one of his apparent supporters in the mail bomb case to \u201cscore political points\u201d against him, less than two weeks before the mid-term elections.<\/p>\n
At a rally on Friday in Charlotte, North Carolina, Trump gave a speech in which he praised law-enforcement officials for the arrest and talked about \u201ccivility\u201d and national unity, before attacking the media and encouraging chants against it, reports Efe news. \u201cPolitical violence must never ever be allowed in America and I will do everything in my power to stop it,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone will benefit if we can end the politics of personal destruction. We must unify as a nation in peace, love and harmony.\u201d The President then moved to attack the media for having reported that Cesar Altieri Sayoc, 56, the man arrested on Friday accused of sending package bombs to prominent Democratic figures and Trump critics, is one of his supporters.<\/p>\n
Sayoc, who faces a maximum sentence of 48 years in prison if convicted, is believed to own a white van that was seized by law enforcement on Friday. It was papered with pictures celebrating Trump, images insulting Democrats, and a \u201cCNN sucks\u201d sticker.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have seen an effort by the media in recent hours to use the sinister actions of one individual to score political points against me and the Republican Party,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe media has tried to attack the incredible Americans who support our movement to give power back to the people,\u201d said Trump, who added his followers were the most \u201chonest\u201d, \u201chardworking\u201d and \u201cpatriotic\u201d people \u201con the face of God\u2019s Earth\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
