Today, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 6090, the Antisemitism Awareness Act of 2023. Congressman Biggs, a key figure in the debate, expressed his views on the matter. Biggs stated, "I oppose antisemitism in all its forms. The pro-Hamas, pro-genocide, anti-Israel events happening across the nation are sickening and should be condemned in the strongest fashion."

Regarding the bill itself, Biggs criticized it, saying, "But this bill is little more than an effort to score political points and is so poorly drafted that it violates the Constitution and could have serious ramifications for the Christian community." He further added, "For a matter as serious as this, the House should have considered the bill through regular order where those concerns could have been considered and alleviated."

In his closing remarks, Congressman Biggs highlighted his concerns about the implications of H.R. 6090, stating, "The passage of H.R. 6090 is the DC Cartel’s latest attack on the Constitution. We must quickly right the ship before the Uniparty tramples the Constitution once and for all."

The passage of the Antisemitism Awareness Act of 2023 has sparked differing opinions among lawmakers, with Congressman Biggs standing firm in his opposition to the bill and raising important points for consideration.
