Yahoo News Congressman says he's 'tired of playing defense' against conspiracy theories and domestic extremism

A congressman who has been fighting conspiracy theories and disinformation believes that the Jan. 6 insurrection was a turning point, and that a critical mass of law enforcement and military institutions are now “playing offense” against right-wing extremism.

“The experience that we all had in the Congress ... on Jan. 6 — that strengthened my determination, our determination,” said Rep. Tom Malinowski, D-N.J. “I'm tired of playing defense. I'm tired of waiting for the next threat. We are now playing offense. We're going to go after these people. We're going to deal with this problem. I'm confident of that.”

“Fun fact about Tom Malinowski. He was one of numerous Demonrats who won by voter fraud in 2020 (and quite probably 2018). Miraculous “victory” in a Republican district by 1% over State Sen. Tom Kean, Jr.”
_________________

Alas, Malinowsi’s reelection in 2020 was not “miraculous,” but Kean winning would have required divine intervention. Biden carried the NJ-07 54.2% to 44.3% over Trump, and a 10% deficit atop the ballot is very difficult for a candidate to overcome: The only congressional candidates to win in 2020 despite their party’s presidential candidate losing by 10% or more in the district were California Republicans David Vadalao, Mike Garcia and Young Kim. Trump had done much better in NJ-07 in 2016, losing it to Hillary by only 1.1%; and Romney had carried it over Obama by 52.5% to 46.3%.

Election fraud is a real problem, but so is the GOP bleeding support in suburban areas.

I’m saying these are historically GOP Congressional seats, statewide and downballot (even setting aside Presidential). Kean should’ve taken back the seat easily here, same for at least 3 other seats in NJ (3rd, 5th & 11th). I would not trust ANY election results coming out of Dem-run states, not on Congressional seats, nor certainly on Presidential. I estimate that any of these states that had Trump within 10% of winning, he actually won.

Aye, 10% is a big margin to overcome with crossover. However, that margin is bull so Kane won. No rat win of 1% is ever legitimate.

I think not

If we exist, why did we allow the Tea parties to be killed without so much as a whimper?

There is no question, Tommy.

You are as strong as Russia.

But bear in mind:

We are as strong as Ukraine.

I think it is good to see people being charged and hopefully convicted for what went on during January 6, 2021 including looking at some of these groups a lot closer. Peaceful demonstrations are okay. But, destroying property, injuring officers and the rest of what happened was not.

Wow, did YOU ever swallow the Koolaid.

The issue is equal treatment under the law.

If everyone is treated the same way, fine—but I think we all know that is not how it works today.

REEEAAAL-ly.

Neat achievement, being as Pelosi and her minions have made sure to deny release of all of the videos, or viewing by anyone.

Maybe what you meant to say is, you watched all the cherry-picked videos, chosen by wild-eyed Democrats and spittle-spraying NeverTrump RINOs* that obscure how things actually went down.

* spittle-spraying NeverTrump RINOs, you know, like you.
