Before his successful congressional campaign, Rep. Tom Malinowski (D-NJ) fought against the national sex offender registry.

Malinowski did so as a prominent lobbyist for Human Rights Watch, a left-wing non-governmental organization (NGO) headquartered in New York City.

The Washington Free Beacon’s Yuichiro Kakutani reports:

Prior to assuming office, the Democrat opposed a 2006 crime bill that imposed tougher penalties on sexual predators, including a permanent record on the national sex offender registry for violent offenders who victimized children. He and his fellow lobbyists argued in a letter to Congress that “no legitimate community safety justification” exists to create such a registry, which they warned will put offenders “at risk of retaliation and discrimination.”

“Crime, even a crime that involves sexual misconduct, should not be license to run roughshod over principles of fairness and proportionality,” the group wrote in the letter signed by Malinowski’s colleague. “Human Rights Watch urges you to vote against [the sexual offender bill].”

Malinowski first rose to prominence when the Obama administration tapped him to become assistant secretary for democracy, human rights, and labor at the State Department in 2014. The White House chose him because they liked Malinowski’s reputation as a “good guy lobbyist,” according to the Center for Responsive Politics, but Malinowski’s earlier efforts to block a widely popular effort to hold sex predators accountable complicates his legacy as a Beltway lobbyist.

As a freshman representative, Malinowski has frequently touted his tenure at Human Rights Watch to bolster his credentials as a human rights crusader. His campaign did not respond to requests for comments about whether the congressman stands by his previous lobbying efforts against the sex offender bill.

Malinowski defeated Republican incumbent Leonard Lance in 2018 to represent New Jersey’s GOP-leaning 7th Congressional District.

    1. No worries. Stupid voters do stupid things. He WILL be reelected. Look how long Schumer and Pelosi have been around.

      1. True statement, just look at WA, stupid liberals put Inslee ( moron) back on the ballot for a 3rd term.

      2. If you want evidence of the ignorance of voters take a look at the Squad. Three of them have had problems with use of campaign finance funds. The charges are lingering in the shadows of a complicit government but they haven’t been dismissed; they are still there.

    2. I’m from a different district in NJ. The problem is, the DemonRat legislators in this socialist state are very busy slowly altering the districts to try to turn very Red, Republican disticts into Blue DemonRat districts. There are some districts that aren’t even contiguous anymore. They are carving the state up deliberately suppress the republican vote. Even though, if you look at political maps, the vast majority of land mass is republican. They use the cities and very blue area’s to negate the conservative vote. This causes more and more conservatives to leave the state, making it more blue. Now that my wife and I are finally retired, we’re very seriously looking for a better place to live, joining the exodus. This is the national Democrat plan. Somehow we have to fight it. Possibly a local and state based electoral college system, to break the strangle hold the liberal cities have on the rest of the state.

      1. According to the Dems, only Republicans gerrymander, despite the fact that the term is named for a Democrat. Just like the Republicans were responsible for the KKK and Jim Crow laws.

    3. New Jersey New York Chicago California they’re all a bunch of liberal morons with no brain cells and most liberals are pedophiles so I see why they would not want to registry because they will probably be on it

  1. Obvious that any Politician that are fighting against any Bill that Protects Children from Sexual Predators are guilty of that same crime.

  2. The only thing I have against a sex offender registry is some of the things that will get you put on. While tasteless and childish, streakers should not be classified as sex offenders. I remember the 70s when streaking was started as a prank that never hurt anybody. I never did it but those whom I know that did never “streaked” around children nor did they confront the supposed victims. And I never heard of any streaker assaulting or having physical contact with anybody. Urinating in public is another offence that can get you sex offender status. Yes, it needs to be a misdemeanor but sometimes a person cannot help it and believes they’re out of sight of others. Heck, San Francisco endorses it. Oops, I shouldn’t have given those flakes as a backup source.

    1. The sex offender law is one of the most insidious laws ever passed. The crimes people commit to get on the Sex Offender list is so broad as to make it meaningless. In our modern world, many girls are having sex for the first time by the 7th grade if they have a steady boyfriend and by the 9th grade if they don’t have one. Read the book “Protecting Our Kids?” by Dr. Emily Horowitz. A 13 year old girl took a nude selfie and sent it over the web. Since it was a nude photo, it was a sex offense, and the second she pushed the send button, it went all over the world and became a distribution offense. It made no difference that it was a picture of her. We are about to have a whole generation of kids on the sex offender list and many for life. Are we going to put these children in jail for sex offenses? There are big differences between patting a female on the butt, taking a wiz where some woman sees you, and abducting a child from a playground, but are all lumped onto one list. The public has been brainwashed into believing everyone on the Sex Offender List wants to kidnap some child for sexual purposes. They also have NOT been told that, with the exception of murder, sex offenders in general, have to lowest recidivism rate of all crimes. Politicians say they want to rehabilitate them, but then make it almost impossible for people on the Sex Offender List to get a job, to travel, or to find a place to live. Just wait until their son, grandson, daughter or granddaughter gets put on “The List.” The SEX OFFENDER LIST should be repealed.

      1. You made some good points.There’s a big difference in being a pedophile and just doing something stupid.

      2. They talked to many sex offenders in prison that have raped tortured and even kill children most said they would do it again if they get out

      3. Specificity.! That “list” should stand in degrees as many other criminal offenses do..A “non contact” “sexual” offense should NOT carry the “weight” or penalties as a “contact” offense.i e “exposure” as opposed to “rape”. I am NOT a liberal (disgusting thought) But I do sympathize with those who have made a less than violent mistake and have their live destroyed.

      4. You have a good point. The sex offender parameters need to be addressed. There could be a color-code based on the level of offense. Yellow could be exposing oneself or urinating in public during teen years. This could vanish once the person is 21. Red could be for child porn, touching of private parts adult to child. Black would be rape of a child under the age of 18 by someone over the age of 18 for example. AND get the LGBTQ and Planned Parenthood out of our schools. These organizations introduce sex and sexual acts under the guise of comprehensive sex education. It normalizes perversion, demands that children’s rights to sex be unquestioned and respected. Take a look at your school district’s sex education program and be sure to have parents sit in on those classes. You will be shocked at what is being indoctrinated at even the elementary level.

      5. Bad things are supposed to happen to stupid, sick and immoral people!

         This Sex Offender list protects the public from them.

  3. The democrat party is full of pedophiles hiding behind various slogans to cover their involvement. With so many backed political offices held by democrats, it is no wonder these pedophiles support their own. We the people are exposed to these deviates on a daily basis and wonder why we lose to these perverts. The day must come that exposes these perverts. Remember soldom and gormoral??? This biblical cities were real and suffered god’s wrath.

  4. I’m concerned … If Malinosky was against the sex offender registry I wonder if he is a sex offender-? Sex offenders must be serverly punished to the fullest extent of the LAW-!!!

  5. Better be checking this guy out he might be a sexual predator got to watch these democratics communist from obama time they all were involved in torture and rape of children hot dog and pizza parties obama through

  6. This should shock NO ONE Democraps are the party of Perversion and HATE. Sadly the MORON MEDIA are Democraps RECTUM SUCKING PUPPETS of those same Democraps. They started by pushing GAYS as normal and when they get what they want not only will the current Perverse sexual proclivities be allowed(Homosexuality and the LIE that is Transgenders) but sex with little children, the dead, and Animals will be accepted as Normal. Places in Europe already have brothels that use animals as their staff. So it is not a matter of if just a matter of when.

  7. Hey Malinowski, sounds like you have Polish name, go to Poland and learn how we treat pedophiles, when go to prison they don’t have many days of life, PRISON main population have own rules after sodomizing pedophiles,let them go 6 feet under ground ,case over!!!!!!!!!
    Malinowski are you pedophile too?????????

  8. I personally would not support such a National Sex Registry which included.a permanent record on the national sex offender registry for violent offenders who victimized children unless of course the permanent record was of their execution..
