An explosive device was uncovered in billionaire philanthropist and liberal donor donor George Soros’ mailbox in Bedford, New York on Oct. 22.
According to ABC News, the explosive resembled a pipe bomb; bomb squad officials detonated the device in a controlled setting. No one was injured.
It is not yet known who planted the device in Soros’ mailbox or what the motive was.
Soros’ Open Society Foundation, an organization that provides grant money for several left-wing causes, posted on their Facebook page, “Our founder and chair George Soros deplores violence of any kind and urges politicians across the political spectrum to tone down their rhetoric. Words have consequences, and we bear responsibility to create a more civil way to discuss our political differences. Respect for a diversity of opinions is fundamental to open society and that is the work that George Soros has devoted his life to. Our politics should be more about what we’re for than whom we hate. “
