In other news... RepubliQan congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and Representative Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) have formed the Republican America First Caucus in the U.S.House of Representatives to promote "a culture, strengthened by a common respect for uniquely
Anglo-Saxon political traditions." It looks like they're going to put the caucasian back in caucus for the GOP. They cast themselves as picking up the banner "to follow in President Trump’s footsteps".
Oh... and they're on board with infrastructure projects as long as its "an infrastructure that reflects the architectural, engineering and aesthetic value that befits the progeny of European architecture". Forget dog
whistling for this group. They're calling the dog by name.
Matt Gaetz says that he's joining the caucus and Louie Gohmert is "looking at" joining. Nothing but the cream of the crop here!

The seven-page document, first obtained by Punchbowl News, is explicit in its nativist rhetoric and describes American culture as dominated by "Anglo-Saxon" and European influences.
The two lawmakers have tied themselves closely to former President Trump and sparked controversy in the past for racist remarks or associations with white nationalists.
Before she began serving in Congress this year, Greene expressed racist, anti-Semitic and Islamophobic views in videos posted to Facebook. For example, she suggested that the 2018 midterm elections — in which Democratic Reps. Ilhan Omar (Minn.) and Rashida Tlaib (Mich.) became the first Muslim women elected to Congress — were part of “an Islamic invasion of our government.” Greene also went to Omar's and Tlaib's congressional offices and falsely claimed they were not legitimate members of Congress because they took the oath of office using the Quran instead of the Bible.
House Democrats and 11 Republicans voted in February to strip Greene of her committee assignments due to her rhetoric and endorsements of calls for violence against top Democrats.
That same month, Gosar spoke at a conference whose organizer has expressed white nationalist views.
Another key position held by the caucus is support for increasing voting restrictions, in line with GOP legislatures around the country passing such measures in response to Trump's false claims of widespread election fraud in 2020.
The caucus calls for an end to voting by mail, implementing a national voter ID law and "substantive investigations into mass voter fraud perpetrated during the 2020 election."

[None of those pesky "post-1965" civil rights laws back then either]
