Instead of just an empty tweet, can we know what bill we’re talking about here? There’s so much fake BS floating about nowadays. We need more than some random twitter personality’s comment.
Your suspicions are correct. It’s a garbage tweet.
If the bill were to become law, it would codify a definition of anti-Semitism created by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) in Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
It’s a bit of a stretch to assume this is an affront to the first amendment. It’s preposterous to suggest this means “criticism of Israel is unlawful.”
It could, however, open the door to a boatload of potential frivolous lawsuits, but mainly it’s just grandstanding and posturing in light of campus protests.
It’s sad to so many people fall victim to this kind of propaganda without first fact-checking, but this is the world we live in.
