Opponents say
• "This resolution is instead as divisive as it is insulting to the American public. It is trying to suggest that Social Security, Medicare and even fire departments are anti-American. None of this is surprising to me. Nor is this blatant attempt by Republicans to try and scare Americans." Source: The Hill Rep. Maxine Waters (Democrat, California, District 43)
• "I mean this is what the majority is wasting our time on? This is what the majority is wasting the American people’s time on? A non-binding resolution that does absolutely nothing?" Source: Epoch Times Rep. McGovern (Democrat, Massachusetts, District 2)
Proponents say
• "Almost 40% of Gen-Z and Millenials think the Communist Manifesto written by Karl Marx, the father of Marxism, is a better defense of freedom and equality than the Declaration of Independence, written by Thomas Jefferson, one of the creators of the American experiment the American exceptionality, and the document which gave birth to most prosperous and resilient democracy in the history of the world – ours, the United States of America." Source: Press Release Rep. Maria Salzar (Republican, Florida, District 27)
• "Well, the failed model of socialism continues to rear its ugly head, even in the 21st century. Even in our country built on freedom and individual liberties. And I fear that some have learned nothing yet forgotten nothing." Source: Epoch Times Rep. McHenry (Republican, North Carolina, District 10)
