ALERT: Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) releases statement, "The day before the election, I was notified by the Margate Police Dept., located in my Congressional district, about a potential plot on my life. The individual in question was arrested not far from my home. He is a former felon who was in possession of a rifle, a suppressor and body armor. Found with him was a manifesto that, among other things, included antisemitic rhetoric and only my name on the ‘target’ list.”

These fucking lunatics and their orange hell-master are grievous threats to democracy, and they hide behind a constitutional amendment that never contemplated industrial-strength killing machines.

Who is "a Jew"? And how is that even relevent to the matter under discussion? Someone threatened the life of a Congressman, and someone shot a Congressman, attempting to intimidate them and others who shared their viewpoint; Why does their religion matter? So it wasn't possible to understand your point. You answered the first question, but not the second.

family must stay in the district.. I hope a solution to this predicament is found
