Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
This resolution condemns television host Tucker Carlson for platforming Holocaust revisionist Darryl Cooper on his show in September 2024, during which Cooper made false claims about the Holocaust and World War II. The resolution details specific historical inaccuracies in Cooper's statements, particularly regarding the deliberate Nazi starvation campaign that killed millions, and argues that Carlson's failure to challenge these falsehoods constitutes an endorsement of Holocaust denial that fuels antisemitism. The measure calls on the House to condemn both Carlson and Cooper, commit to fighting antisemitism, honor Holocaust survivors, and reaffirm the importance of accurate Holocaust education. This is a symbolic resolution without funding or enforcement mechanisms, introduced by Representative Ritchie Torres of New York and referred to the House Judiciary and Foreign Affairs committees.
