Now MAGA bomber sez: Just a hoax

“MAGA bomber” Cesar Sayoc has penned a handwritten letter to a judge insisting that he never intended for the letter bombs he mailed to President Trump’s enemies to actually blow up.

“The intention was only to intimidate and scare,” Sayoc, 57, wrote in the letter filed in Manhattan Federal Court Tuesday.

“What started out as hoax, decoys, devices were not ever meant to work or could have worked, hurt or harm anyone.”

The unstable Florida man’s teary guilty plea last month featured legal arguments about whether his 16 improvised explosive devices could have actually detonated.

In his new letter he said he made that statement under “extreme emotional circumstances.”

The right-wing fanatic faces up to life in prison for the letter bombs that sparked a national manhunt in October. When Sayoc was arrested he was living in a van covered in stickers of Trump’s enemies — many of them prominent Democrats — with cross hairs over their faces.

After Sayoc’s arrest last year, the family attorney said Sayoc found “a father figure” in Trump.

“This was someone lost,” attorney Ron Lowy told CNN host Anderson Cooper. “(It’s) my opinion that he was attracted to the Trump formula of reaching out, Trump reaching out to those types of outsiders, people who are angry at America, telling them they have a place at the table, telling them that it’s OK to get angry.”
