Bill Banning Criticism of Israel Pulled From Congressional Schedule After MAGA Backlash | 5 May 2025 | Republican Congressman Thomas Massie (Ky.) announced on Monday a controversial bill banning the censorship of Israel has been "pulled from the schedule for this week" after backlash from himself and other members of Congress. "Apparently HR 867 has been pulled from the schedule for this week. Thank you for your vocal opposition on this platform. It was a ridiculous bill that our leadership should have never scheduled for a vote," Massie wrote. On Sunday, Massie had posted to 𝕏, stating he agreed with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) after she said she'd be "voting no" on the "IGO Anti-Boycott Act." Greene wrote, "It is my job to defend American's rights to buy or boycott whomever they choose without the government harshly fining them or imprisoning them. But what I don't understand is why we are voting on a bill on behalf of other countries and not the President's executive orders that are FOR OUR COUNTRY???"
