The Seminole Tribe of Florida says the man suspected of mailing bombs to prominent Democrats is not one of their own.
Cesar Alteri Sayoc Jr., 56, was arrested Friday in connection with a dozen pipe bombs scares across the country this week.
Sayoc’s Twitter account is filled with political musings supporting President Trump, admonishing Democrats and the news media and claiming Native American descent, specifically that of the Seminole Tribe.

Congress.Low Taxes, Less Regulations, Booming economy for Fla.”
“There’s no record of him being a member of the Tribe,” a spokesperson for the tribe said in a statement to Politico. “He’s not a member of the Seminole Tribe, has never been a member of the Seminole Tribe”
