U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, along with 20 other Republican lawmakers including Matt Gaetz, Paul Gosar, Andy Biggs, and Thomas Massie, voted against the Antisemitism Awareness Act. This legislation, particularly focused on campus antisemitism, aims to classify the claim that Jews were responsible for Jesus Christ's crucifixion as antisemitic. Greene and Gaetz opposed the bill on the grounds that it would label core Christian beliefs, as outlined in the Gospel, as antisemitic. Greene articulated her stance by stating that the bill's language could potentially convict Christians of antisemitism merely for adhering to the Gospel narrative that implicates Jews in the crucifixion of Jesus.
