“I was listening to the colloquy earlier. I have listened to comments here during debate. I have seen comments made in the media by some of the folks here in the House over the vote that was taken, basically, on an anti-hate resolution that was originally intended to address anti-Semitic remarks that were made by a Member of the House. Yet, instead of addressing the anti-Semitic remarks, it was made a global, general: Oh, we are against almost all hate--well, not all hate. Apparently, not the kind of hate for Republicans that would cause our minority whip, Steve Scalise, to be shot and almost killed; not the violence being perpetrated on supporters of President Trump, including on college campuses. But even they, as horrendous as they were, have no moral equivalence to the Holocaust. Expanding the resolution from a simple condemnation of anti-Jewish, anti-Semitic remarks to a panoply of other items--actually attempted to give everything ever done to anyone, except a few hate-filled actions, of course--attempting to give them the moral equivalence of the Holocaust where none exists, that is tragic.…”
