                     CONCERNS REGARDING H. RES. 183

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. TRENT KELLY

                             of mississippi

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 14, 2019

  Mr. KELLY of Mississippi. Madam Speaker, I rise today to express my 
concern regarding H. Res. 183, Condemning anti-Semitism as hateful 
expressions of intolerance that are contradictory to the values and 
aspirations that define the people of the United States and condemning 
anti-Muslim discrimination and bigotry against minorities as hateful 
expressions of intolerance that are contrary to the values and 
aspirations of the United States. This resolution fails to condemn a 
specific act perpetrated by one of my colleagues, therefore rendering 
this resolution pointless. By broadly condemning every act of hatred, 
we condemn nothing. My colleagues consumed hours on the floor of the 
House of Representatives to debate a commonsense sentiment instead of 
passing meaningful policy to better the lives of Americans and 
condemning the specific statement of antisemitism made by a Member of 
the House of Representatives.
