2020: Fitzpatrick Voted For Condemning Religious Intolerance Abroad,
Urging Governments To Release Individuals Imprisoned For Their Religious
Beliefs And Expressing Support For The United Nations To Tackle
Religious Intolerance. In December 2020, Fitzpatrick voted for a
resolution that would, according to Congressional Quarterly, "state that
the House calls on the president and State Department to prioritize the
repeal of blasphemy, heresy, and apostasy laws in bilateral
relationships with countries that have such laws. It would urge the
governments of such countries to release individuals who have been
imprisoned or persecuted on such charges and ensure their safety once
released. It would express support for United Nations efforts to combat
religious intolerance." The vote was on passage. The House passed the
resolution by a vote of 386-3. [House Vote 236,
