Taking zero responsibility. The president backed by his white house staff, showing no signs of changing his combative to tone, in the wake of how ugly it is out there, from pittsburgh, in florida and in kentucky. Sarah sanders in a familiar move, pointed the finger back at reporters. The very first thing that the president did was condemn the attacks both in pittsburgh and in the pipe bombs. The very first thing the media did was blame the president and make him responsible for these ridiculous acts. That is outrageous that would be the first response. The individuals who carried them out are the ones responsible. Its not the president , any more than it was Bernie Sanders fault who shot up a baseball field full of republican congressmen. You cannot put the responsibility on anyone other than the person who commits the crime. Only the alleged shooter and the alleged bomb maker are responsible for their actions. Its also true that President Trump despite occasional efforts to unite the nation has also taken clear steps to continue to divide us. Today tweeting, there is great anger in our country caused by fraudulent reporting of the news. The make news media, the true enemy of the people must stop and report the news accurately and fairly. Calling the media, the enemy of the people again, just days after pipe bombs were sent to cnn by one of trumps supporters hours after that tweet. The president s attitude about how his supporters behave and his refusal to take any responsibility for what he tells them is not new many listen to then candidate trump refusing to condemn the antisemites who wrote an article about Melania Trump that the then candidate and his wife didnt care for. Some of your supporters have viciously attacked this woman with antisemitic attacks, death threats. These people get so angry, whats your message to these people when Something Like that happens. I havent read the article, but i heard it was very inaccurate and nasty article. Im married to a woman whos a very fine woman but these antisemitic i dont know about that, you mean fans of mine . Your message to these fans is, i dont have a message to the fans. And thats basically been the president s attitude. His supporters are responsible for their own actions and hes not accountable in anyway. The philosophical question on the table here is why do we as a society consider it important . Why is it a standard for politicians to not inflame passions among supporters, using demonizing language or concocting conspiracy theorys or throwing around ugly rhetoric . Why is that our expectation . Doesnt it have something to do with concerns that maybe some supporters will take things too far . That was what senator marco rubio was concerned about in march of 2016, talking about his then rival, then candidate trump. I know people like it, donald trump says whatever he wants and what they feel like saying. President s cannot say anything they want. President s have to understand that their words have consequences, often life and death consequences for real people in the real world. Last week, after the pipe bombs but before the ugly attacks in kentucky and pittsburgh, former governor mitt romney tweeting. Disgusting vile threats and actions against fellow americans are sadly unsurprising. Hate acts follow hate speech. It is pastime for us to turn down and tune out the rabid rhetoric. Hate acts follow hate speech mitt romney said. There is a belief in the United States of america that leaders have an obligation to lead their supporters in the right direction. The alleged pittsburgh shooter tweeted negative things about President Trump. He thought President Trump was too controlled by jews. Too controlled to actually make America Great again. The alleged shooter was motivated by one of President Trumps Favorite Campaign issues, the one hes been gining up the last few weeks. This migrant caravan. Thats why the shooter in pittsburgh said he targeted that synagogue, because of this false belief being shopped around all over the place, including by members of congress, that jews were funding that kacaravan. The kara va van that President Trump today referred to as an invasion. Do words like that matter . Do hate acts follow hate speech as mitt romney said . Sadly, thats not a theoretical question for the people of pittsburgh. And thats where we begin tonight. Sara sidner is in pittsburgh near the tree of life synagogue. The suspect was in court today. Tell us what happened. Reporter the suspect, he went to federal court, he was in a wheelchair, he had on handcuffs, there are 29 federal counts against him in federal court, he was given no bond and was taken to jail. But, you know, look, this is being called the deadliest antisemitic attack in American History, by the Antidefamation League. And many have said that the warning signs have been there. Not just with this suspect, but with many antisemitic acts that have been happening around this country. And that those acts have been growing by leaps and bounding. Investigators say Robert Bowers wanted all jews to die. The suspect using his arsenal of weapons to try to kill as many jews as he could. In squirrel hill, the center of jewish life in and around pittsburgh, resident Hallie Goldstein says fear was never a part of the equation, until now. Before everyone was saying how they felt stronger and braver, and i dont feel brave, i just feel scared. Reporter now there is reason to fear, 11 people were just slaughtered in a synagogue in america. For years, incidents of antisemitism were on the decline in america, then came the 2016 president ial election. Since then a meteoric rise, 35 increase in 2016, a 57 increase in 2017 according to the Antidefamation League that tracks it. Thats the single largest surge weve ever seen since we started tracking this data. Reporter nothing is sacred, not human life or places of worship or even where the dead are buried. In omaha, nebraska, a Veterans Memorial scarred with a swastika. In sacramento, california, flyers targeting jewish students on campus. It screams of the same type of graphics that the nazis used. This is in potters county, pennsylvania. This is my country. You guys didnt win the culture war. Get the [ bleep ] out of here now. And no one can forget the torch bearing men in charlottesville, virginia spilling their hate filled rhetoric. Whats beyond all of this, political rhetoric is in part to blame. That rhetoric can be subtle or in your face like steve king, for example retweeting messages from a known nazi sympathizer. Im not deleting that because then you all pile on me and say he knows hes wrong, im not guilty one bit. For the global special interest. This ad raised eyebrows, using jews. And some leaders standing with louis farrakhan. We should have a zero tolerance policy on intolerance. Its unacceptable that anyone from the president to minister farrakhan should make de ricive comments and all of it should be called out. All of it should be unacceptable. Reporter we spoke with the rabbi here of tree of life, he was talking to us about all that had happened, he was taking out the torah to make sure it was safe. It had not been damaged, he was thankful for that. He said, jake, love always, always eventually concurs hate. Jake . Sara sidner in pittsburgh, thanks so much many. Out front is the democratic attorney general for the commonwealth of pennsylvania. Josh shapiro, good to see you again. You said your office is launching a separate investigation apart from the department of justice. What are you focusing on specifically . Were interested in finding out the social media platform gab that was used by not just this killer, but white nationalists, neonazis across this country to find out whether this is protected free speech or whether its being used to insigi incite violence. Its something were looking at carefully. Far be it from me to defend gab, but i see heinous bigotry on twitter and facebook. Why go after gab, whats different about that . Theres a difference between heinous bigotry, and a platt form being used to incite violence in our community. Im not saying for certain that is whats occurring. Im saying thats something that were interested in looking at. And were interested in looking at it from a civil and a criminal perspective, and getting to the bottom of how this platform is being used. The shooter is already facing 29 federal charges, some of which could be punishable by death. Do you want the feds to seek the Death Penalty . I do. I think this is an appropriate case for the feds to do that, i would point out that this is a case being handled by our federal partners, were supporting them anyway we can, its being prosecuted by the department of justice. President trump is planning to come to pittsburgh tomorrow. Are you welcoming him to your commonwealth . Youre a democrat, youre not a supporter of the president , whats your attitude toward him coming . Jake, this isnt about partisanship or whether i support the president , this is about making sure that when the president comes to pennsylvania, he brings with him words of healing. That he speaks with moral clarity, something that the president seemingly has been unable to do. He allows his words to be misappropriated by people who then use those words to inflict evil in our community. And the president needs to stand up and firmly condemn that. He cannot continue to allow this to go on on our time lines or in our town squares. And the president has a unique responsibility to rise above the noise and bring down the temperature of our rhetoric, and help our community begin to heal. Thats what i want to see from our president , i think thats what most americans want to see from our president. Sadly he seems to miss the mark every time he opens up his mouth or engages his twitter feed. Well, he did condemn in no Uncertain Terms antisemitism and the act of violence, the flags at the white house are at half staff, i understand in general, you have aroun issue w his rhetoric, do you think hes handled this tragedy in the wrong way . I would say that the department of justice and those i worked with on the Law Enforcement side get a plus marks on this, but i think the president has a unique responsibility, any president does. And that is to be the healer in chief. To try to figure out a way to bring people together, to maybe stop his political attacks and political rhetoric for a moment and see how that is being used by people who want to do ill and evil to others. Try to find a way to bring the American People together. That is the president s task, and he has not risen to the level that we need him to rise to in america. We know that there are people enabling this kind of hate in our community. And we know that there are people cheerleading it on, and we know there are people relying on the president s words and tweets and actions to bolster that effort. Fair or not, right or wrong, they are relying on the president s words to push that hateful speech forward. And the president right now needs to send a clear message to everyone. In pittsburgh, throughout the commonwealth of pennsylvania and throughout the world, that he doesnt want his language to be used to foster attacks and foment hate in our communities, instead, to try to bring people together. Attorney general josh shapiro, good to see you. Out front now, robert bercune. He has attended saturday Morning Services there for 35 years, this sabbath his wife asked him to stay home, she felt sick. And he did. I dont know what to say, my deepest condolences to you and your community. I know you were at the hospital meeting with some of the victims and first responders. How are they doing . Some of them are doing better. I visited the policemen who went into the line of fire to save the others. They are still in the hospital. Some other people are still there, serious conditions. Its been an awful experience. Youve been part of this communities for at least 35 years, you led it for 23 years. How does one even attempt to comfort your congregation while you yourself are in mourning . Its true. What weve seen, i think at least in the pittsburgh area, maybe around the country, is an outpouring of support. And for jews who have been targeted not only now, but really for thousands of years, thats a very important piece of the picture. We need to know were not alone. Were a minority group, and so were vulnerable. But the key is, at least in pittsburgh, thousands of people came, people from every faith, islamic, christian, catholic, every denomination was there, every color was there, it was an outpouring of support. On saturday, President Trump suggested that it would have been better had there been an armed guard on hand at tree of life. I know that since 9 11 and then obviously in the last few years, theres been a rise in antisemitism, a lot of synagogues and mosques around the country have had armed guards. What do you think of that . Im not sure. Obviously those are decisions that have to be made and perhaps the government has to help in that regard. Our synagogue tree of life for years, decades, has hired off duty police to be there on the high holidays. We have big crowds of people. During the week, the building is secured in the sense that we have to be buzzed in with a camera overlooking the door. But each and every shahbat morning, we dont have that, the doors are open, that probably has to be reevaluated. Lastly, before i let you go, what do you want people watching you around the world and in the United States. What do you want us to know . How can we help . Whats the message you want us to hear . I think we have to hug somebody, we have to lower the rhetoric, we have to be vigilant and observant and we have to know that things can never be the same in our country, which is a sad, sad commentary. Im so sorry for the loss of your congregants and your fri d friends may their memories be a blessing to you, sir. Thank you for being with us. Thank you very much. Outfront next, a 15th suspected pipe bomb, this time sent to cnn in atlanta, thankfully intercepted in the mail. The suspect had a list of 100 targets. Who else may have been on that list.

Serious side effects may include seizures, new or worse heart or blood vessel problems, sleepwalking or allergic and skin reactions which can be lifethreatening.

This comes as another suspicious package sent to cnn headquarters in atlanta. If confirmed it was sent by cesar sayoc, this would bring the total number of packages sent by him to 15. Officials say he had a list of more than 100 other potential targets, what more can you tell us about this list . As you know, this is very much about what we know, and what we dont know right now. What we do know is according to our colleagues here at cnn, he did allegedly have this list of more than 100 names of people he was targeting, thats according to the authorities. Some of those people received explosive packages, most did not. We also know that there were indications of a package that came through the mail from over the weekend. That ended up in atlanta. And the post office headed for our colleagues at cnn center there. We also know, he was locked up on friday, so if this is the perpetrator and if in fact he did put packages in the mail, then presumably by inference the package mailing would have ended late thursday night, early friday morning. The last question, of course, is whether there are any other packages in the postal system. That right now is something the authorities simply cannot answer, jay . Thank you so much. Out front now, Jamie Benjamin and daniel aaronson, the Defense Attorneys for cesar sayoc. Law enforcement officials telling cnn your client had a list of more than 100 people he intended to send packages. If thats true, can you tell us whos on the list. We cant confirm anything like that. All we have is the complaint that originated out of the Southern District of new york, where it alleges the original
