After bombs were sent to several prominent Democrats and some media outlets, the Trump Campaign issued an anti-media release. That brought some rather sharp responses to the move on Twitter.
Trump campaign's response
After the Trump campaign realized how bad the timing of the release was, they issued a statement on Twitter.
Tweet was done as a response. So making sure people see my statement. https://t.co/E9enVdax7e

Fair question
The very first response to Brad Parscale's tweet made a fair point. Bashing the media on any other day, is apparently just business as usual, most other days.
So an email attacking media on any other day is fine. Got it. You are clearly a class act.

The timing really isn't the issue
Another Twitter user made it clear if others hadn't. The timing of a release attacking the media isn't really the problem.
Yes, that's the lesson you should learn here. The "timing" - not the content - of a Trump campaign "automated" message didn't coincide well with a mass murder attempt. There is no bottom for you, @LaraLeaTrump , or anyone associated with this admin.
