DIN: Matt Gaetz brings up an interesting point.
He says in his tweet that “The Gospel itself would meet the definition of antisemitism under the terms of this bill,”
I have news for Matt, the Gospel is in fact antisemitic and the cause of much of the death and chaos in the world!
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) slammed an anti-Semitism bill approved by the House on Wednesday, claiming it has no “regard for the Constitution.”
On Wednesday, lawmakers in the House passed the Antisemitism Awareness Act by a vote of 320-91. The legislation, which was introduced by Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY), will be sent to the Senate for a vote.
Although the bill was passed with bipartisan support, a small group of progressive Democrats and hardline Republicans opposed it by claiming it would interfere with free speech.
Gaetz told his followers on X, formerly Twitter, that he voted “no” against the legislation because it is a “ridiculous hate speech bill.”
“Antisemitism is wrong, but this legislation is written without regard for the Constitution, common sense, or even the common understanding of the meaning of words,” he wrote.
“The Gospel itself would meet the definition of antisemitism under the terms of this bill,” he added. The bill says the definition of antisemitism includes ‘contemporary examples of antisemitism’ identified by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA). One of those examples includes: ‘…claims of Jews killing Jesus…'”
Gaetz concluded, “The Bible is clear. There is no myth or controversy on this. Therefore, I will not support this bill.”
The House passed the legislation amidst nationwide pro-Palestine protests across dozens of college campuses in recent days, leading to the arrest of hundreds of demonstrators. Democrats and Republicans have denounced the protesters for the use of pro-Hamas chants.
