Johnson’s Incompetence Continues as He Screws Up Antisemitism Resolution; Then Democrats Embarrass Him on Procedural Vote

Bradley Jaye 2 May 2024

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) received a stunning rebuke Wednesday on what should have been a slam-dunk resolution to oppose antisemitism followed by a rare procedural defeat on legislation to clarify mining regulations.

The events, hours after Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Thomas Massie (R-KY) announced they would force a vote to expel Johnson, do little to show Johnson has a firm hand on the wheel.

The Antisemitism Awareness Act, introduced by Reps. Mike Lawler (R-NY) and Jared Moskowitz (R-FL), would mandate that when the Department of Education enforces federal anti-discrimination laws it uses a definition of antisemitism put forward by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance. While most House members would likely agree that antisemitism is bad, the hastily introduced legislation sparked a firestorm.

Smokin Joe:
But MTG is considered a wackjob? **nononono*

Maj. Bill Martin:
The language does not criminalize the New Testament, and does not say that blaming Jews for the crucification is anti-semitism. The last five words of the language they claim does that makes that clear.  The relevant language they said is the problem says:


--- Quote ---"Using the symbols and images association with classic antisemitism (e.g., claims of Jews killing Jesus or blood libel) to characterize Israel or Israelis".

--- End quote ---

And yes, using the fact that some specific Jews 2000 years ago participated in the killing of Jesus to characterize Israel or Israelis today is classic antisemitism.  That's a very different thing from pointing out the historical fact that certain specific Jews participated in the killing of Jesus, which nobody denies.  It is using that act to condemn all subsequent jews, and in this context Israel/Israelis, that convert it to racism/antisemitism.

MTG and Tucker know that, but they don't care about the truth.  Or more likely, they're just okay will saying that all jews are guilty of the killing of Jesus.

DefiantMassRINO:
1.) Day job is to pass FY 2025 Budget.
2.) Who is more incompetent, the incompetent or the incompetents who elevated him to a higher level of incompetence?

Stop the damn culture war virtue signaling for FoxNews, OAN, NewMax, etc, and put the screws to Biden's policies in the damn FY 2025 Budget.

rustynail:
They don't make Jews like Jesus anymore.
