In regards to GOP congresspeople feeling afraid for their lives: perhaps you didn't have your grown sons call you the night of the 2016 election, asking if we (as Jews) will be safe here now. Maybe you didn't hear your husband tell the family to get their passports in order /1

2/ just in case we had to flee. Maybe you thought that he couldn't be that bad -- but it was clear to anyone paying attention that he was dangerous. SURELY Jews, Muslims, Latinx, African Americans - we could have told you how terrified we were -

3/ We didn't even know that families would be separated, or that we'd have a pandemic that would be worse bc he couldn't govern - but we KNEW in our bones - from age-old cellular trauma that he was capable of horror

4/ What did you do to protect all the women & press who were targeted by him? Pelosi, the "Squad" & Hillary? I'm sure they have been frightened for years. They had TARGETS on their back every rally.

5/ So I don't want you to be targeted or frightened. I want you to see & admit your complicity, your silence, and your role in standing idly by. I also want us ALL to feel safe in our country. ALL THE PEOPLE. End of sermon
