Rep. Ryan Clancy's Testimony Against AB 446, re the IHRA Definition of Antisemitism

Published | Video Starts at 04:38

It's an attempt to kick down the road, the realization that blood is on our hands, that no ceasefire will hold as long as Israel has the capacity for genocide, and that we as Americans are giving them that capacity. This law is a clear violation of the First Amendment and is intended to target... people speaking up for Palestine. The authors admit as much, noting in a clause in the bill that, quote, nothing in the section may be construed to diminish or infringe upon any right protected under the First Amendment. (04:38–04:46)

CLAIM

Asserts the law violates the First Amendment and targets pro-Palestinian speech.
