GOP Opposition Ends Greene's 'America First' Plan
Newser ^ | April 18, 2021 | Bob Cronin

There won't be an "America First" caucus in the US House after all. Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene let go of the idea in the face of quick, broad opposition from members of both parties to the group's apparent founding document. Greene then tried to put space between her and the platform, the Wall Street Journal reports, saying it was "a staff level draft proposal from an outside group that I hadn't read." The document called for adherence to "Anglo-Saxon political traditions," going so far as to endorse the use of European architecture in US infrastructure. Republican House leaders Kevin McCarthy and Liz Cheney were among those who denounced hate and nativism after Punchbowl posted the policy online. "The hatefulness of this statement is only surpassed by its ignorance of American history and values," Republican Rep. Ken Buck tweeted.

The only reason I’m not a libertarian is they have no respect for faith, family, and nation. GOP is less than useless without those commitments. Corporate shilling, half-ass’d tax cuts, and middle east invasions won’t cut it for me.

The seven-page document did need some work, but I suspect the GOPe losers would object to anything called America First. They hate that the average conservative has caught on to the scam.

Stupid and irresponsible. Possibly dumber than Maxine Waters.

One. The use of Anglo-Saxon was dumb.

Two. My he opposition of establishment Republicans has nothing to do with point one.

Even if she’d said English Common Law, which is what was meant, the same Boner/McCarthy Rinos would be against it.

They are not a legitimate body and do not represent us.

We are in a constitutional crisis with no legitimate government.

Lets face it no one, NO ONE in DC represents whites. No matter how often or how severe whites are attacked or anti-white laws are introduced not a single person in DC has our back or stands up for the West.

Where are these same POS speaking out against the Black or Hispanic Caucuses? Are any other race based BS?

The GOP will probably give a senate seat to Liz Cheney of a retiring senator. There is no way she can win reelection, so why are they keeping her on the committee leadership position? They have something in store for her.

I thought that was dumb, too. I would have used Western culture or maybe the middle class.

I would just have said “American traditions,” and the group might still be around if they’d put it that way.

Sorry to say, but by capitalizing ‘black’ and not capitalizing ‘white’, you may be part of the problem.

Sure> </s>

She had plenty of time to read and dissect.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., hit out at “scum and liars” in the media and “weak politicos” after a document about an America First Caucus leaked to the press and sparked outrage over what critics said was “nativist” language — but Taylor Greene said was a draft by staff that she hadn’t read.

On Thursday, I buried my father and held my mother’s hand as we said goodbye,” she said. “On Friday, sick and evil POS in the media attacked me with phrases I never said or wrote.

We might cut her some slack? Or not.

Anyone wasting time and money on these people are living in dreamland.

I fully agree, but if I’m not mistaken one of the people wasting time and money on those people is the President (not Biden) President Trump!

Actions like this is precisely why I finally had enough and left that wortheless hoar of a party last January after over 3 decades.
..........................................
I did likewise and for the same reason, having been a reliable supporter since Goldwater was a candidate. I urged President Trump to sever his affiliation but he ignored me. He’ll wish he hadn’t.
