U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is among the Republican voices to oppose a new measure sponsored by a fellow GOP Congressman.
Republican Congressman Mike Lawler, of New York, along with Congressman Josh Gottheimer in January reintroduced the bipartisan IGO Anti-Boycott Act which they said "stops international governmental organizations from discriminating against Israel."
Greene on Sunday shared a note suggesting that the representatives would be voting on the bill on Monday, and that she is a hard no.

Greene also shared an image claiming that Lawler's bill contains "prison sentence up to 20 years" for "Americans participating in boycotts of Israel."
"I will be voting NO. 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," she wrote. "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???"
Greene wasn't the only Republican with some choice words about the GOP-led effort.
Former Congressman Matt Gaetz chimed in, saying, "Antisemitism is bad and should be categorically rejected. Not every idea cooked up to respond to Antisemitism is a good one."
"There’s a real danger in passing bills like this. Somewhere Democrats are writing a bill to imprison the rest of us for 20 years if we boycott countries who sign the Paris Climate Accords…or join the UN…or bribe the WTO/WHO. And they may get power again," the ex-lawmaker added. "Which is why we shouldn’t use ours to punish dissent or 'thought crimes' with prison. Antisemitism is a real problem. It deserves a response far more serious and thoughtful than this dangerous and unconstitutional Lawler virtue signal."
