John Bel Edwards: “I do not think there is a difficulty with the gentleman's amendment now that it has been amended. We have 202 programs…”

“I do not think there is a difficulty with the gentleman's amendment now that it has been amended. We have 202 programs, we have Section 8 programs. They go to Jewish organizations, they go to Catholic organizations, they go to Protestant organizations right now. They cannot discriminate. They cannot discriminate and say, you must be a Catholic, you must be Jewish, you must be a Muslim, you must be a Protestant in order to become a tenant in this organization. They do not discriminate, they cannot discriminate, under these laws with respect to hiring practices, too. I do not think this gentleman's amendment accomplishes that much, but I do not think it changes anything. It does not hurt that much, either. I think we are making a big argument out of a relatively small matter.”
