Rep. Rashida Tlaib recalled threats made against her and other freshman House members during an emotional exchange about the lack of a domestic terrorism statute
The Michigan Democrat described one threat, which was sent to her office and others, targeting her because of her Muslim faith."How is that not enough to fall under domestic terrorism, if they're targeting solely based on my faith and others in saying that a 'good Muslim is a dead one,' obviously directed to me?" she said.
He urged Tlaib to work in Congress and with the Justice Department to propose domestic terrorism legislation. "I'm in charge of domestic terrorism and international terrorism. I don't differentiate either when the threat comes in, nor does the FBI. We work them both the same way," McGarrity said.
