"The effort to crush antisemitism and hatred in any form is not a Democratic or Republican issue. It's an American issue that must be addressed in a bipartisan manner with the fierce urgency of now," he wrote. Rep. Jamie Raskin , a Jewish progressive, told Axios: "A number of members have expressed to me their frustration that this is what's being presented instead of both bills."Even some Democrats who say they will likely vote for Lawler's bill expressed frustration or disappointment at Johnson's decision. "I don't love it at all," said one.
Manning said hers is a "much broader bill, and I think it would accomplish much more," adding that Johnson "wants to remain speaker. I want to address antisemitism."
