The former Assistant Director for Counterintelligence at the FBI under Barack Obama says that Americans must learn to "accept" terror attacks as a "new way of life" because that's a better outcome than being called racist.

Cesare Frank Figliuzzi served as the former Assistant Director for Counterintelligence at the Federal Bureau of Investigation based in Washington DC under Barack Obama from February 2011 to July 2012.

In a "hot take" piece for NBC penned in the aftermath of the New York City attack carried out by an ISIS-supporting Islamic terrorist, Figliuzzi argues that not being seen as bigoted is more important than actually stopping terror attacks.

Yes, really.
