Former CIA Director John Brennan ripped into President Donald Trump, saying the president's “insults, lies, and encouragement of physical violence are disgraceful.”

Brennan’s comments came in a Thursday morning tweet in response to a Twitter post by Trump blaming the media for much of the anger in today’s society.

Brennan wrote: “Stop blaming others. Look in the mirror. Your inflammatory rhetoric, insults, lies, & encouragement of physical violence are disgraceful. Clean up your act....try to act Presidential. The American people deserve much better. BTW, your critics will not be intimidated into silence.”

An explosive device, addressed to Brennan, was delivered to the New York offices of CNN on Wednesday.
