FIGHTING BIGOTRY AND ANTI-SEMITISM
(Mr. SANTOS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. SANTOS. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to congratulate my colleagues
on voting to remove Representative Ilhan Omar from the Foreign Affairs
Committee.
Agreeing to H. Res. 76 sends a strong message that we support Israel
and the Jewish community.
I urge the 118th Congress to now stand together, proudly upholding
every single American--no matter race, pedigree, religion, nor creed--
as no less American than their neighbor; that Jewish Americans are
patriotic Americans; and that we all have a role in fighting bigotry
and anti-Semitism in our country.
We must make sure that the House of Representatives reflects such
principles as a united body.
