The Suspected Bomber’s Van Needs to Be Seen to Be Believed
Police have covered the vehicle with a tarp, but the vehicle appears to be covered with right-wing memes and pictures of the president.

After federal authorities on Friday arrested 56-year-old Cesar Sayoc in connection with the explosive devices that were sent to nearly a dozen public officials and critics of President Donald Trump over the past week, a Twitter user posted close-up photos of the suspect’s van, which is covered in photos of Trump, American flags, and bizarre right-wing paraphernalia.
The photos posted on Twitter show the same covered object on the back of the van that was seen in video footage after the suspect was arrested.
Here are the photos, via this tweet by Mark Lancia:
Authorities on Friday covered the van with a large blue tarp, but footage from after the vehicle was transported shows the images plastered on the windows:

Shortly after the suspect’s van appeared all over cable news, freelance journalist Lesley Abravanel posted a photo on Twitter showing what appears to be the same vehicle, which she said was parked outside of her husband’s office last November:
Your support is crucial...OMG. My husband just called and said “Remember that picture I texted you of that crazy Trump van that delivered lunch to my office? THAT WAS THE GUY!” This is the picture he sent me of the van parked at his office on November 1, 2017. #FloridaMan @FBI pic.twitter.com/18BimNzNhi

The bureau claims it has apprehended 90 new suspects but has yet to supply the public with records related to a single investigation.
The president's hateful words must be confronted and fought.
Only when we understand Donald Trump as a cult leader, rather than a traditional politician, can we build effective resistance to him and his cult followers.
