Rep. Sara Jacobs, D-Calif., is the latest prominent voice on the left to call for a "truth commission" in the name of combating extremism in the United States. Host Brian Stelter brought up her interview last week with The 19th, where she first called for a "truth commission" to reckon with the nation's fraught racial past, and asked her to expand on what she meant. "A truth commission, a lot of people will think of South Africa ... Look, we all were victims of this attack in addition to being the lawmakers of this country," Jacobs said. Former Clinton administration Secretary of Labor Robert Reich called for a "Truth and Reconciliation Commission" in October, in the name of naming and shaming former President Donald Trump's enablers.
