An amendment to the Anti-Boycott Act of 2018, H.R. 867, was pulled from a Monday scheduled vote in the House, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R- Ga., announced Sunday evening after initial news about its vote drew mass opposition across X over the weekend.

From across the political spectrum, Republicans, Democrats, and Libertarians alike voiced their opposition to the intergovernmental organization, or IGO Anti-Boycott Act, waging concern that it stands as an affront to the First Amendment by compelling speech and business transactions.

On Sunday, Greene posted to X she would “be voting NO” on the bill.

“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 added. “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???”

Later that evening, Greene announced that the bill had “been pulled.”
