U.S. Rep. Tom Malinowski writes in Opinions: Can we forget politics and just focus on keeping people safe?
By Tom Malinowski May 3 at 5:01 PM Tom Malinowski, a Democrat, represents New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District in the House of Representatives.
Political debates in the United States can be untethered from facts, but threats to life focus minds on reality. The reality today is that when it comes to organized violence, Jewish and Muslim Americans, as well as members of other minority groups, face the same threat: white-supremacist terrorism. If the threat came from outside the United States, these facts would be enough to galvanize Americans around a plan of action. But this threat comes from within. And because it originates on the political right, describing it accurately can be difficult to do without sounding partisan, without making one side feel uncomfortable. So we blame the violence on vague boogeymen of intolerance and hate — which we acknowledge exist on the left as well as the right.
