Rep. Ritchie Torres said he"mistakenly" voted against a House resolution condemning support for Hamas on college campuses, which overwhelmingly passed the lower chamber of Congress on Thursday.
The resolution passed 396-23, with 22 Democrats and one Republican voting against the bill. Torres, who has been vocal in his support for Israel, issued a statement shortly after the vote saying he submitted a"correction for the record" and that he has"no use for pro-Hamas protestors."On the House floor, I mistakenly voted against a resolution condemning campus antisemitism.
The resolution condemned"the support of Hamas, Hezbollah, and other terrorist organizations at institutions of higher education, which may lead to the creation of a hostile environment for Jewish students, faculty, and staff." It also instructed the Department of Education to"direct the Office for Civil Rights to investigate and, where appropriate, take action immediately."The resolution passed the same night a $14.
Shortly after the House of Representatives resumed legislative business upon the election of a speaker last week, after a three week impasse, the chamber voted overwhelmingly to condemn the Hamas terrorist attacks against Israel.
