President Trump said there are good people on both sides. Well, there are good people on both sides in Columbia, but there were not good people on both sides in Charlottesville. That anti-Semitism needs to be addressed and has not been addressed by my friends on the other side, although Mr. Smith has addressed it and there are others, so I don't want to paint a broad brush. There have been so many instances in history that have come not from these Palestinian supporters, but from skinheads, Neo-Nazis, and Klansmen, and that needs to be addressed. I think Mr. Smith's and Ms. Manning's bill addresses it. I hope that comes to the floor and we do a comprehensive attack on anti-Semitism. Mr. McCLINTOCK. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Smith).
