Freshman Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) has been blocked from joining the Congressional Black Caucus .
BuzzFeed noted that it had been nearly six months since the new freshman class from the previous election were inducted into the Congress, adding that the group is a “powerful and nominally nonpartisan group of black lawmakers in Congress.”
Though there is not currently a Republican member in the group, according to their official website. Donalds, who won his election in November for the first time, has not been included in that group.
Donalds’ office told BuzzFeed that the congressman has spoken with at least three members of the group about joining, but he has not received an answer .
An aide to Donalds said, “Congressman Donalds has expressed interest in joining the CBC but has yet to receive an official invitation.”
“ The CBC did not respond to questions about the status of Donalds’ membership or why he was not being let in,” the aide said.
Donalds said in February he wanted to join in order to change the caucus’s liberal dominance. His goals were to have membership in both the majority Democrat’s Congressional Black Caucus and the conservative House Freedom Caucus.
Donalds was one of the many Republicans that voted against certifying the electoral college.
Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) had declined an invitation from the group in 2010 when he was first elected to Congress as a member of the House. When he became a “Rep.-elect,” he said he would not be joining since his “campaign was never about race.”
Congressional Hispanic Caucus’s bylaws exclude non-Democrats. In 2017 the group denied membership to former Rep. Carlos Curbelo (R-FL).

Where’s my White and Allies Caucus?
Right-Talk about unfair and unethical! The Liberal minorities in the US make me sick.
Their behavior assures there will NEVER be improvement for minorities, because they won’t allow any internal debate!
Africans hate Americans
Funny. I knew blacks who loved Amos ‘n’ Andy.
What about Steve Martin in The Jerk. He was unaware that he was white.
“powerful and nominally nonpartisan group of black lawmakers in Congress.”
Really, nonpartisan — what a joke. Probably one of the most partisan caucuses in the House. Buzzfeed writer is an idiot
Have you ever watched an episode? One of the most hilarious shows in the history of TV. With what passes as black entertainment today, don’t even talk about “degrading to blacks”. Watch an episode, you’ll see what I mean. Kingfish, Algonquin J. Calhoun and Mama could very easily blend in at a Black Congressional Caucus presser.
He should start his own Congressional Black Caucus and put out a press release preemptively denying membership to the lib sh!ts.
Congressional Black Caucus exposed it not about being black it’s all about liberal Marxism.
Oh, my bad. There is no such beast. That would be....well.....RACIST!
Of course, none of this surprises me. It's what you would expect from the democRATS.
They preach tolerance and diversity but practice bigotry and racism.
When blacks scream systemic racism in this country, they are referring to the democRATic leadership who have institutionalized it for their own political benefit.
Sure. They’re available on You Tube. I concur with my old black friend. A&A were great.
