'The Republicans Are Being Total Hypocrites'
Posted: Sat May 04, 2024 1:02 pm
Nadler sat down for an interview on this week’s episode of Playbook Deep Dive soon after the House passed the “Antisemitism Awareness Act.” Surprising some people, Nadler had led the opposition to the bill amid fears it would endanger free speech on campus. It passed 320-91, but that was many more “no” votes than he expected.
“It’s very easy to support something that claims to be against antisemitism, and it’s hard to start explaining to your constituents the nuances of why you didn’t,” Nadler said.
He added that the GOP has tried to weaponize antisemitism against Democrats amid the controversy over pro-Palestinian campus protests, even as former President Donald Trump has had dinner with a Holocaust denier. “The Republicans are being total hypocrites,” he said."
