It is a mystery to me why the Republican leadership here continues to refuse to permit a vote on Congressman Kathy Manning's H.R. 7921.

I think we should start by expecting that the social media companies enforce their own rules about the kind of content on their platforms that put Jewish students, in particular in recent months, in harm's way.

We know that state actors are involved in this effort to help divide the people of the United States from one another.

It goes far deeper than that. I think it is appalling that we think we have to call a committee hearing to address something that is so fundamental in the raising of our children.

I am amazed that we think there is a political answer to a human problem.

We must hold schools accountable. We must protect all students, and we must work together in a bipartisan fashion and declare zero tolerance for antisemitism.

The response of many university presidents and chancellors to these events has been woefully inadequate, and completely lacking in leadership.

Students have been forced to walk a gauntlet on college campuses, finding alternative pathways to classes, dining halls, libraries just to stay safe.

Over 80 percent of American Jews... say that caring about Israel is important to what being Jewish means to them.

The challenge is that now, in too many elementary and middle and high schools, we have seen... an attempt to erase the Jewish contribution in America.

The law we need to pass, if you are a mom and dad, it is your responsibility.

We sit here today and think that a law can be passed to outlaw hate.

We are in the process of working on it, and hopefully tamping down antisemitism in America once again.

We cannot wait until it's all personal to us. It's time for us to pass the many bipartisan bills introduced this Congress that will protect the health and well-being of the American people.

It's time to rise above the polarization, the cheap shots, the partisan fights to powerfully face the harsh realities of fentanyl.

Is there political power that could have prevented that from happening?

Is there any political power that woman has that she can wield to prevent that pregnancy from happening?

Is there any amount of political power that a 12-year-old could wage to stop her from being raped by a relative?

It's the power for women to be able to make these decisions that are protected by the Constitution.

When a community represents less than two percent of the American population but is a significant majority of all the religious-based hate crimes...

I urged the administration to swiftly implement the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act to help prosecute antisemitic hate crimes.

This is a question of actions taken, whether by the government, whether by drug dealers, the government in China or drug dealers or others, to murder our kids.

Mr. Buck is right. This is a crisis that affects every community in our country.

It is our policy that Iran will not acquire a nuclear weapon.

We've implemented unprecedented sanctions packages against Russia, increased the supply of weapons to the courageous and resilient fighters in Ukraine.
