Meanwhile, a prominent California Democrat made comments echoing those of Trump on the supposed dangers posed by Muslims and their religion. Loretta Sanchez, a congresswoman from Los Angeles who is seeking the party's nomination for a US Senate seat, said that as many as 20 percent of Muslims "have a desire for a caliphate and to institute that in any way possible." Speaking on the program "Politicking with Larry King," she declared, "They are willing to go to extremes. They are willing to use and they do use terrorism."
Sanchez represents a suburban district not far from San Bernardino, site of a December 2 attack that has been used by the entire US political establishment and the corporate-controlled media to whip up public fears of terrorism and distract attention from the deepening social and economic crisis of American capitalism.
