Rep. Bob Good, R-Va., told Newsmax on Friday that while he voted in favor of the Antisemitism Awareness Act, he “didn’t feel good about” it because of how Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., handled the vote.
“The speaker gave us assurances about an hour before the vote [that] we were going to pull it and fix it, and then he didn’t do it,” Good said during an appearance on “Wake Up America.”
“And he put us in that position of do we stand with our friends and neighbors across the country, who are suffering like we’ve not seen with these violent antisemitic expressions across our country? It was a terrible bill. It was a vote that was terrible on each side. Many of my colleagues voted against it. I ended up voting for it. Didn’t feel good about it, quite frankly, because of the circumstances.”
