All I did was filed paperwork late. It's very hard to respond to it unless you put millions of dollars on the air, calling out a lie as a lie.

I want to make sure we do that in the right way.

When people systematically try to define the media as fake news, when they systematically denigrate the objectivity of science, when they call for defunding the FBI or nonpartisan institutions in our Government the deep state and say, all…

I think ADL has also recommended that Congress move forward a bill that I co-sponsored, the Protecting Americans from Dangerous Algorithms Act.

When leaders campaign on ideas that say conspiracy theories are fine, that we ought to vilify some others, that we ought to see the world as very simple, it is a problem because that secret group behind there is doing something to harm us.

In 2021, the Southern Poverty Law Center documented 1,221 hate and anti-Government extremist groups across the United States, including antisemitic and neo-Nazi groups in New Jersey.

It is about human beings. Their humanity is being assaulted and they are being put in harm's way by virtue of how they look.

Unfortunately, nationally, the ADL's audit of antisemitic incidents in the United States recorded 2,717 acts of assault, vandalism, and harassment in 2021.

The rise in violence, hate, and bigotry in our country is completely unacceptable and has no place anywhere in our communities.

Oath Keeper membership data revealed that politicians and elected officials, including here in New Jersey, had signed up for an Oath Keepers membership.

I know what racism looks like. I know what antisemitism looks like.

If antisemitism and hatred is a virus, Facebook is the wind.

The tech companies have created literally the perfect machine for spreading hatred.

We must keep our families and our communities safe as well as our police.

We must combat all forms of hate wherever it exists and ensure our communities and law enforcement have the resources they need to stay safe and secure.

I am introducing my bipartisan bill, the FASTER Act, today.

This is just one of seven reported antisemitic incidents here in Bergen County last year alone, the highest in all of New Jersey.

I am also introducing today the bipartisan FASTER Act, the Freezing Assets of Suspected Terrorists and Enemy Recruits Act.
