Narratives

• Republican narrative, as provided by New York Post. It's highly likely that a far-left agitator sent the disturbing blood vials. Sending blood is undoubtedly a threatening action that could be considered a biological attack. Unfortunately, such heinous behavior is consistent with recent pro-Hamas protests that have caused violence around the country.
• Democratic narrative, as provided by Washington Post. The intent of the package found at the RNC remains unknown, but the White House remains crystal clear in its condemnation of any threatening or violent acts. Capitol Police are investigating the concerning incident, and justice will be served no matter what.
