Police in Vermont are seeking a suspect who allegedly started a fire Friday outside the office of U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders. The small blaze caused minor damages but no injuries.

Authorities say an unknown male suspect sprayed what they described as a possible accelerant on the office door, set it on fire and fled. They said the suspect remained at large and no motive had been established.

But remember, it's the left that's divisive and dangerous.

There was another case not too different from this a few months ago.
So, it might not be entirely politically motivated.

I'll see if I can find it.

Ehhhh Bernie isn't Pro-Ceasefire so I wouldn't be surprised if a far-left extremist did this.

Do we know where MTG was on Friday?

Asking for a friend.

I'm sure you'd readily wager an amount of money that mattered to you on it being a far-left extremist and not, say, a white supremacist or one of the many Trump supporters incited by violence by rightwing propaganda.

Just to revisit my point from the earlier post.

This happened last year.
It might be unclear what the actual motives were for this.
Burlington, as much as I love it, does attract some interesting characters.

eh, i wouldn't rule anything out when it comes to Bernie, because DESPITE HIM LITERALLY BEING JEWISH, the maintream "left" in the United States has managed to paint him as an anti-Semite.

that said, yeah, it's probably more likely it's a right-wing chud - especially w/ the upcoming Trump win.

I'm not ruling it out, as anything's possible. What I'm saying is based on both anecdotal evidence from the media the past eight years and statistical data from the DOJ, odds are against it being a left winger and I find it peculiar that that was anybody's first thought.

It's bullshit in Bernie's case but being Jewish in no way stops you from being antisemitic.

Hope they catch the culprit guilty of this.
