Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi disagreed with the approach of university presidents’ testimonies on campus antisemitism but stated that Congress shouldn’t be calling for their firing.
He voted against a bipartisan resolution denouncing the rise in antisemitism on campuses due to a sentence within the resolution calling for the firing of the university presidents, believing that this should be within the province of the universities and not Congress.
“You were talking about the substance that occurred or lack thereof in terms of congressional action yesterday on the floor. Also happening yesterday, the House did pass a bipartisan resolution denouncing the troubling rise in antisemitism on campuses and also the congressional testimony of three of the university presidents about antisemitism on their campuses,” Kate Bolduan said.

“The vote breakdown was 303 supporting the resolution denouncing it, 126 voting no. 84 Democrats voted for this resolution, 125 Democrats voted against this resolution denouncing this congressional testimony.”
“You voted against it. Why?” she asked.
Krishnamoorthi answered, “I condemn the testimony, but one sentence within the resolution called for basically their firing by the universities.”
“I think that’s within the province of the universities and not something that Congress should be doing.”
“I think that what they said was abhorrent and I totally disagree with the way they approached the line of questioning.”
