On Sunday, the U.S. House of Representatives voted by an overwhelming bipartisan majority to strip federal funding from college campuses that promote antisemitism.
However, two New Mexico representatives decided to support antisemites and vote against the legislation along with 52 of their colleagues.
Those who voted no were Reps. Teresa Leger Fernandez of the Third Congressional District and Melanie Stansbury of the First Congressional District.
Rep. Gabe Vasquez of the Second District, who faces a tough 2024 reelection against Republican former Rep. Yvette Herrell, voted for the measure.
Stansbury and Leger Fernandez voted with the likes of antisemitic Reps. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, both Democrats. Omar was removed from the House Foreign Affairs Committee for her antisemitism, and Tlaib was censured for her rabid antisemitic comments.
