The Facts

  • The Republican National Committee's headquarters in Washington, DC, were evacuated on Wednesday after a suspicious package containing two vials of blood was discovered at the building.

  • The US Capitol Police's hazardous incident response division responded to the incident at around 7:45 a.m. local time and cleared the scene after the building was put under lockdown.


The Spin

Republican narrative

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

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.
