News from @PeteWilliamsNBC on the bomb threat outside the Capitol: ‘The man has been identified. He’s a white male from North Carolina, and he is making anti-government statements.’

There’s a right wing domestic terrorist threatening to blow up the Capitol this very moment. We must confront the violent cult that created this. This isn’t about tax rates or abortion or the EPA - this is about whether we will tolerate violence as an extension of politics.
