RUSH EXCERPT:

SCHANZER: “Look, first of all, I know a lot of people who have been assisted or families have been assisted by this organization. It does good work and the idea of targeting a synagogue in Pittsburgh because of your outrage over this, the logic is extremely difficult to follow. But again, I think we are going to see elements of the right that have this sort of reflexive anti-immigrant perspective that I think, again, needs to be tamped down. I don’t want to only single out the right here, but I think we are seeing elements from across the board engage in radical rhetoric that must be brought down to a lower level.”
