The target of her rage? The Washington Post, which ran a front page story with the words, “Trump, allies set the tone for the violence they denounce, critics say.”

“Is there any tragedy the Washington Post won’t exploit to attack President @realDonaldTrump?” Sanders tweeted Sunday. “The evil act of anti-Semitism in Pittsburg was committed by a coward who hated President Trump because @POTUS is such an unapologetic defender of the Jewish community and state of Israel.”
