tv_txt: IV 115th CONGRESS 2d Session H. RES. 772 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES March 13, 2018 Mr. Rokita (for himself and Mr. Gohmert ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary RESOLUTION Condemning Louis Farrakhan for promoting ideas that create animosity and anger toward Jewish Americans and the Jewish religion.

Whereas the House of Representatives strongly opposes racism, anti-Semitism, and all forms of ethnic or religious intolerance; Whereas, on February 25, 2018, Louis Farrakhan, leader of the Nation of Islam, gave a speech saying White folks are going down. And Satan is going down. And Farrakhan, by God’s grace, has pulled the cover off of that Satanic Jew and I’m here to say your time is up, your world is through. ; and Whereas Louis Farrakhan has consistently attacked Jewish Americans and the Jewish faith, claiming Judaism is nothing more than a deceptive lie and a theological error promoted by Jews, and claiming that Israel and Jews helped orchestrate the 9/11 attacks: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives— (1) condemns Louis Farrakhan for promoting ideas that create animosity and anger toward Jewish Americans and the Jewish religion; and (2) condemns all manifestations of expressions of racism, anti-Semitism, and ethnic or religious intolerance.
