Malinowski D-NJ gets death threats after ad lies he lobbied to protect sex offenders
First-term Democratic Rep. Tom Malinowski says he has received death threats after a right-wing conspiracy group highlighted accusations that he lobbied to protect sex offenders.
Malinowski, D-7th Dist., told NJ Advance Media Thursday that he was talking to U.S. Capitol Police as to what steps, if any, he needed to take in response to the threats. He is the chief sponsor of a bipartisan resolution before the House this week condemning the group, QAnon, and its conspiracy theories.

Malinowski said the phone threats came after an internet site used by QAnon included a copy of his resolution and a press release from the National Republican Congressional Committee claiming that the lawmaker lobbied to protect sexual predators.
The Republican congressional committee has amplified the charges in an ad, claiming that Malinowski, while director of Human Rights Watchs Washington office, lobbied against legislation creating a national registry of sex offenders. The Washington Posts fact checkers gave the ad their highest rating for untruthfulness.

and the Republicans are laughing and blaming Malinowski. And throwing McCain under the bus as having worked with Human Rights Watch.
