Republicans race for distance from 'America First Caucus'

Republicans from various factions in the GOP are racing to distance themselves — and the party at large — from a band of hard-line House conservatives whose flirtation with forming a caucus espousing white nationalist views has ignited a firestorm of controversy on Capitol Hill.

GOP leaders, anti-Trump centrists and vulnerable Republicans in battleground districts wasted little time in recent days denouncing the “America First Caucus,” whose stated purpose in a platform document included the defense of America as a nation “strengthened by a common respect for uniquely Anglo-Saxon political traditions."

There are more political traditions out of Europe than those from England. The Left still seeks to emulate the failed first French Republic, for example.

RINOs -- the reason Trump is not still president.

Don't blame the Democrats. We all knew they would cheat.

Blame the RINO-controlled state legislatures who refused to enforce voter ID and did nothing to stop the cheat-by-mail-in ballots to be foisted on the electorate by leftist entities.

With friends like RINOs, who needs Democrats?

The “new” tactic adopted by Romney’s Niece, Ronna McDaniel is to BLAME us for not supporting the RINO Caucus.

Great article filled with quotes from the same ant-constitutional traitorous RINOs who are on the endangered species list - little Lizard daughter of BIg Dick, Kiziinazi, McCarthy, oh and Boehner keeps raising his sleek well-oiled head.

“The Charge of the RINOs”When they get where they are going, they will notice that their numbers are small and that they are isolated and alone.Best that they identify themselves and leave.

When you can’t get what you want, the first thing a scumbag will do is LIE about your rival’s intentions. Trump’s backers are NOT white nationalists.

“America First” is NOT the equivalent of “white nationalist”. It is a lie and a slur on a lot of very good people who think much like I do. RINOs are fully deserving of being relegated to the dust-bin of history. It can’t happen quick enough for me. Want to talk about equivalents? How about “RINOs = Lying Dirt-bags”.

Bush League Republicans are happy to be Assistant Democrats, meeting their friends halfway on destroying the country.

We need a vocal conservative squad, out there daily/weekly shouting the truth, shaming rinos into submission to take over the weak Republican agenda. They well be hated, censored and scorned by the corporate media and rinos, but the truth must be declared.

...kinda like what the AOC squad did to the democrats, but different

Yes the Anglo-Saxon Magna Carta is based on White Supremacy and hatred of black and brown minorities... (insert eyeroll here)

“At the end of the 16th century there was an upsurge in interest in Magna Carta. Lawyers and historians at the time believed that there was an ancient English constitution, going back to the days of the Anglo-Saxons, that protected individual English freedoms. They argued that the Norman invasion of 1066 had overthrown these rights, and that Magna Carta had been a popular attempt to restore them...”

I don’t trust Rep. Greene. I think she is trying to destroy the populist movement so the only choice we have is the globalists D or R.

The Anglo-Saxons had their butts kicked by the Normans and the traditions we have borrow very heavily from the Greeks. We shouldn’t go along with identity politics, and the Democrats KKK was the granddaddy of them all. We should come up with an America First platform that covers the needs of the people. We need consensus on jobs, addressing price-gouging on healthcare, privacy protection, roads and bridges, things like that.

America First is America First.

“strengthened by a common respect for uniquely Anglo-Saxon political traditions.”

Well, only someone with an authoritarian personality would agree to that! The Horror!

It’s unclear if Gosar and Greene — a firebrand first-term conservative who has become one of former President Trump’s most strident defenders on Capitol Hill — are truly scrapping the idea of an America First Caucus. In a series of tweets Saturday, Greene dismissed the policy document as a “staff level draft proposal from an outside group” that she had never approved, while lashing out at the “scum and liars in the media.””

Hmm...I was wonder why the allowed that “anglo-saxon” reference to be published. Even if true, someone had to know how badly that would get trashed. Handing the msm another month of “racists!!!” hysteria. It was politically tone deaf.
