Taylor Greene votes against bill to combat antisemitism, invokes antisemitic trope in her reasoning
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) announced she was voting against a bill to combat antisemitism, and in her reasoning, she invoked an antisemitic trope. The House voted to pass the bipartisan Antisemitism Awareness Act on a 320 to 91 vote, with 70 Democrats and 21 Republicans voting against the bill.
Actually,
Marjorie Taylor Greene says she opposed antisemitism bill because it rejects āGospelā that āthe Jewsā handed Jesus to executioners
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Georgia Republican who has been criticized in the past for her dalliances with antisemitic tropes and influencers, explained her vote against a bill defining antisemitism by saying that the bill it rejects the āgospelā that āthe Jewsā handed Jesus over to his crucifiers.
Greeneās opposition to the bill passed Wednesday in the U.S. House of Representatives comes at a time when a number of conservatives are embracing ancient Christian anti-Jewish ideas. In one notable recent example, Candace Owens, a conservative influencer,Ā broke ranks with Ben Shapiro, an Orthodox Jew who runs a conservative media outlet, in part over Owensā seeming embrace of Christian antisemitic tropes, including that Jews imbibe blood.
The bill would define antisemitism for the purposes of using it to address complaints to the federal government that the civil rights of Jews have been violated. It drew some of its strongest criticism from progressive quarters over concern that the legislation would inappropriately inhibit criticism of Israel, such as the campus protests over the Israel-Hamas war.
But Greene, posting on X, formerly Twitter, laid out a different concern: that the bill threatened Christian expression.
āAntisemitism is wrong, but I will not be voting for the Antisemitism Awareness Act of 2023 (H.R. 6090) today that could convict Christians of antisemitism for believing the Gospel that says Jesus was handed over to Herod to be crucified by the Jews,ā she said. āRead the bill text and contemporary examples of antisemitism like #9.ā
InĀ her tweet, Greene posts two photos: One focuses on the portion of the bill that adopts as part of its definition of antisemitism the 11 ācontemporary examples of antisemitismā in the definition of antisemitism composed by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance.
The second photo highlights the ninth example, āusing the symbols and images associated with classic antisemitism (e.g., claims of Jews killing Jesus or blood libel) to characterize Israel or Israelis.ā
Her fellow far-right Republican, Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida,Ā explained his no vote in similar terms on the same platform. āThe Gospel itself would meet the definition of antisemitism under the terms of this bill!ā Gaetz writes, and gores on to quote New Testament scripture that collectively blames Jews for Jesusās killing.

In the years after the Holocaust, myriad Christian denominations played down or in some case repudiated the belief held for centuries that Jews were and remained collectively responsible for Jesusās murder. The accusation of deicide was seen as one of the most potent drivers of antisemitic violence since time immemorial, and the Catholic Church in 1965 formally rejected the charge that Jews had killed Jesus.
In recent years, however, the accusation has reemerged as a cause to be championed among some far-right Christian sects. It informed Mel Gibsonās 2004 film, āThe Passion of the Christ,ā which stirred outrage among Jews.
In 2021, Pope FrancisĀ introduced restrictions on the Latin Mass, which calls for the conversion of Jews and accuses them of āblindness.ā He cited the increasing popularity of the mass, feating it would undermine Vatican II.
Greene is not stranger to entanglements with Jewish organizations, earning criticism in the past for among other offenses,Ā embracing a theory that the Rothschild family was using space lasers to start firesĀ in California, andĀ loosely invoking the Holocaust to describe perceived injustices against conservatives.Ā SheĀ also spoke at a conferenceĀ organized by Nick Fuentes, a Holocaust denier and antisemite.
In all, 21 Republicans and 70 Democrats voted against the antisemitism legislation on Wednesday. It was championed by House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican, whom Greene says she will try to unseat next week.

Alexa Vega flashed a whole lot of side boob
The award for āChoice Use of Side Boobā goes to actress/singer/pianist, Alexa Vega. That is a category at the Teen Choice Awards, right? If not it should be.
Alexa would have it in the bag. With that said, Iām not really big fan of these pictures of Alexa from the Teen Choice Awards held at Gibson Amphitheatre.
Sure she looks pretty and is flashing some heroic amounts of boob, but the cut of the dress just looks awkward. She does look lovely from the front, but from the side, thereās just something up with the dress thatās distracting.
Ah well, she still looks hotter than I could ever hope to look so good for her. Itās nice to see her on the red carpet either way.
