Former NJ-07 Congressman Hunterdon Democrat Chairman NJ-11 Primary Candidate Tom Malinowski is trying for a third (or fourth?) act in political life, Save Jerseyans, and winning a Democrat internal party contest in 2026 means you need to win an idiot contest… even if it means completely contradicting what you said a few short months ago.
Over the weekend, Malinowski complained loudly about Trump employing the “Putin doctrine” in Venezula.
“So we’ve risked the lives of American troops in an operation that will have zero impact on drug abuse in the U.S., while apparently leaving Venezuela’s brutal and corrupt regime in place, just to bring home a trophy,” the former Obama State Department Official complained on X.
But as recently as August 2025, Malinowski insisted with his characteristic unearned confidence that the Trump Administration was “pretending” to show interest in arresting Maduro:
Oops.
Other than picking stocks?
Tom Malinowski’s record of getting it right remains less-than-enviable.
