“Antisemitism 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,” Greene wrote.

Sorry, can’t keep up with everflowing bullcrap. From which bible is this?

Probably one of the Trump bibles. You don’t have to read it. You just pull a cord out of it and it recites to you what it wants you to hear.

A question for Cro-magnon Marjie: If Jesus hadn’t been crucified, what would his religion look like? Would he even have one? Would anyone even remember him? What would Marjie do without her beloved cross? What would christianity do without its most useful victim?

And here’s a follow-up question: Was Jesus of Nazareth Jewish?

So, she’s basically saying “antisemitism is wrong but it’s ok because Jews killed Jesus”. That it?

God, what a dimwitted bigot.

It is impossible to keep up. I was thinking that somehow there was some crazy idea that Romans were Jewish before Christianity took hold in the Roman empire.

I can’t wrap my head around that this waste of air was elected to the United States Congress. Twice. What does that say about her voters?

Uh, 91 people voted in favor of antisemitism? Who voted that way? Was it all Republican bigots like MTG?

Like the current quagmire in Palestine, just who killed Jesus and why is complicated and a matter of considerable debate. And, so, the neanderthal from Georgia cannot possibly understand the complexities of complex situations. Plus, Jewish space lasers.

“Antisemitism is wrong, or at least it would be if the Jews weren’t shifty, Communist, money-grubbing, world-dominating, media-controlling, Jesus-killing baby-eaters.”
