Far-right Republicans in Congress are forming an “America First Caucus” that would promote nativist policies, according to materials outlining the group’s goals first obtained by Punchbowl News.
Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and Paul A. Gosar (R-Ariz.) are reportedly behind it, with Reps. Barry Moore (R-Ala.) and Louie Gohmert (R-Tex.) signed on as early members. Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), who faces federal and House Ethics Committee investigations over allegations of sexual misconduct and illicit drug use, tweeted that he was joining Greene in the caucus.
“We will end wars, stop illegal immigration & promote trade that is fair to American workers,” said Gaetz, who has denied all allegations against him.
A seven-page document that lays out policy positions for the caucus includes nativist language and perpetuates the falsehood that there was widespread fraud and corruption in the 2020 election. According to the document, the group says it seeks to advance former president Donald Trump’s legacy, which means stepping “on some toes” and sacrificing “sacred cows for the good of the American nation.”

That’s what I’ve been asking for the last 20 years!
Tired of hearing about the Great Accomplishments of General Santa Anna during “Hispanic History Month”
When do we get Heroes of the Soviet Union Month?!
As a White Hispanic, I will absolutely concur that Christian Anglo-Saxon culture has been the pinnacle of civilization since man was created.
Call me a ‘racist’ for seeing reality for what it is.
Glad you brought this jerk up.
Growing up in Mexico, I can tell you not many care for him down there. He’s almost viewed as a loser among historians for his military losses.
McCarthy is ok with BLM & ANTIFA attacks on innocent whites.
Deal me in it can’t be any worse then what we have now.
The great political scientist Samuel Huntington in Clash of Civilizations argued for the predominance of the Anglo-Protestant culture [that successfully built the nation] if America was to survive the cultural divisiveness tearing the nation apart.
I might have gone with “Western” over Anglo-Saxon. That mops in all of them, including the very important Judeo-Christian values.
________________________________
That’s what I was thinking, too. I wish they hadn’t picked a term that sounds particularly controversial in today’s climate. Maybe they will yet revise it.
‘I might have gone with “Western” over Anglo-Saxon.’
That would have been better - but why any geographic characterization? Why not an adjective that indicates the substance of those political traditions, such as (to steal from noiseman) “decentralized”?
5 vs. What, tens if thousands? Millions? Waste of time to not reflect reality. Ignore whites like Trump did and what good happens?
Who do you feel is closer to you - a black conservative or a white Antifa boy? Which one would you like to have as your neighbor? Do you believe that a political compromise with Antifa is desirable as long as they are white? With whom should conservatives of European descent cooperate? With black conservatives or with progressives of European descent? What is more important - someone’s conservative values or someone’s race?
The culture of the whole Western World has been the beneficiary of Anglo-Saxon culture. We accept people of every race and nationality, and welcome them to participate in our culture, not to set up rival non-Western dueling cultures on our territory. Such actions must be considered an invasion.
well, we do need some WASPs on the supreme court.
Did they finally figure out that Freedom Caucus committed suicide when they let Paul Ryan become speaker?
Were I in charge, which I aint, I would demand the abandonment of all of these congressional caucuses based on race: Congressional Black Caucus, House Hispanic Caucus, America First (Anglo Saxon First) Caucus. Plain and simple. Dumb as a sack of hammers. The third one having nothing to do with Conservatism or Ronald Reagan Republicanism.
Rinos are just another form of leftist communist Democrat!
I agree sir. I got no time for them.
You’re welcome.
