This is ludicrous and you know it's ludicrous because witnesses--

Extreme MAGA Republicans will use every tool they have to persecute, harass, and impugn anyone who dares hold Donald Trump accountable.

This hearing is not an attempt to conduct real, robust oversight of the Department of Justice, but rather an attempt to flog the Biden Administration's Attorney General.

$20 million dollars on an impeachment inquiry based on statements from a witness who turned out to have ties to Russian intelligence.

This Committee, once an agent of momentum to move our country forward, has become little more than a field office for the Trump campaign.

If Republicans were to succeed in their effort to abolish the ATF, how would that affect public safety?

I claim the time in opposition to the amendment, even though I am not opposed to it. The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman from New York is recognized for 5 minutes. There was no objection.

Jewish students are not safe at Harvard. Until Harvard implements any type of accountability, responsibility, or policies to combat antisemitism, then all these Jewish schools, synagogues, and communities should not allow Harvard admission…

Congress should clarify that unlawfully targeting a Jewish person for any aspect of their Jewish identity, including a belief in Zionism is antisemitism and will be treated as such.

We know what the problem is, and what we need is action that actually helps protect Jewish students.

If you mean what you say here today, if you believe that the threats and vitriol that Jewish students face on college campuses is unjust, and that combating antisemitism is more than just a convenient talking point in a larger crusade…

I appreciate you being here today to share your experiences with us.

I am extremely disturbed by instances when political criticism of Zionism or of Israel does verge into antisemitism.

I hope every Member at the dais and each of our witnesses here today would agree, that criticism of Israel's government or political criticism of Zionism on a college campus is not inherently antisemitic.

I am also an unapologetic and deeply committed Zionist.

I devoted much of my life to combating antisemitism, and I am as attuned as anyone to threats and bigotry aimed at Jewish people.

Time and time again, they have failed to condemn instances of antisemitism, particularly when it comes from their right-wing allies, including the former President.

Similarly, if our Republican colleagues are looking for serious solutions, they would help to implement President Biden's comprehensive national strategy to counter antisemitism.

If our colleagues on the other side of the aisle are looking for a real, tangible way to fight antisemitism, they should provide that funding instead of once again trying to cut it.

If the ideas we protect are easily stolen, then they hold no value.

The enforcement of IP protections is key to the success of our system.

Intellectual property in the United States at its core is the right to own an idea.

Some of them are going to be conservative. Some of them will involve keeping more people in jail for longer periods of time.

The Koch brothers, not a group I typically praise... they do recognize that we have to try and find ways to address these criminal justice issues in a bipartisan way.

I have zero Republican cosponsors for that bill. We are well over 100.
