Summary
The representative who opposed the Antisemitism Awareness Act of 2023 (H.R. 6090) on religious-freedom grounds, posting that she would not vote for an Act that could, in her words as quoted by Kenneth S. Stern, convict Christians of antisemitism for believing the Gospel account of Jesus being handed over to be crucified (Written Testimony of Kenneth S. Stern, PDF p.34-35).
Details
- Stern’s gloss: the bill would not convict Christians of anything, but would enshrine the idea that Gospel believers are in effect declared by Congress to be antisemitic; her objection concerned the IHRA example on claims of Jews killing Jesus (PDF p.34-35, in Appendix A). The main testimony at PDF p.6 refers only to “some Republican members in the last Congress” objecting on this ground, without naming Greene.
