Becca Balint (VT-AL) released the following statement on today\u2019s vote on H.Res 894:\n\n\u201cI\u2019m deeply concerned by the rise in antisemitism in recent months - it poses a clear and present threat to Jewish communities in Vermont and around the world. My voting record stands clearly against antisemitism and any form of hate and will continue to. But today\u2019s resolution makes a dangerous, unequivocal assertion that anti-Zionism is always antisemitism. This is another case of the majority using the real fears of many Jewish Americans to sow political divisions. As a long-standing critic of the extremist Netanyahu government, statements that paint legitimate criticisms of Israel as antisemitic are not only dangerous but undemocratic.\n\n\u201cWe must lead with our values, rather than stoking hate and fear. I\u2019m proud to consistently and firmly stand up against antisemitism and bigotry.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T01:14:16Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://balint.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=144"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.6920748855918646, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
