ANTI-SEMITISM ON THE RISE
(Mr. GOHMERT asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute.)
Mr. GOHMERT. Mr. Speaker, this is a very sad time in America. As was
discussed earlier today in debate, we used to have bipartisan
agreements on things. One of those was when anti-Semitism was raising
its ugly head. One party here on the floor still speaks up against,
will vote against anti-Semitic statements and call them out for what
they are, and another will not.
I heard my friend across the aisle, Brad Sherman, just appropriately
decrying the violence, these anti-Jewish folks in California, this
incident. Well, that surely could be something we could once again,
come back together in a bipartisan way and condemn the 40 percent rise
in violence against Semitic people. It is time to come together on
that. It will show the world.
