Page 4 - First Caucus News Today

On Friday, Punchbowl News reported the East Texas Republican had agreed to join a nakedly nativist congressional group, the “America First Caucus." Formed by controversial Georgia U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, the caucus vowed to safeguard the "interests of the American people." But in its policy platform, the caucus wrote it views America as “a nation with a border, and a culture, strengthened by a common respect for uniquely Anglo-Saxon political traditions.” It also called for cul...

The quip elicited laughter from reporters and highlighted the ongoing tensions between the former president and the highest-ranking GOP woman in Congress, who was one of 10 Republicans who voted to impeach Trump for his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection. Last week, Trump said he would “soon” endorse a pro-Trump primary challenger to “Crazy Liz Cheney.” Cheney, the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, responded in kind by saying she would not back Trump if he decided to r...

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — An "American First" rally with a lineup of conspiracy theorists and election-deniers, headlined by controversial U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, is now scheduled for the fairgrounds as a public event.  This is an upgrade and change from initial plans announced last week to host Greene as a speaker during a private breakfast at a local restaurant. Wilkes 14 Bones BBQ was first scheduled to host Greene and the Indian River County Republican Party, but the Vero Beach ...

Late last week, Punchbowl News reported that Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar were about to launch something called the “America First Caucus” for Republican members of Congress who want to “follow in President Trump’s footsteps.” In a strategic sense this was a good idea; Republican politics is still gravitationally attracted to Trump even though he mostly doesn’t do anything, and while there is already a hard-right, Trumpist “Freedom Caucus,” the...

SalonApril 20, 2021 This is a neat trick McCarthy is pulling. He is redefining the bullhorn that Gosar and Taylor Greene were using as a "dog whistle," setting the subtlety bar so low for racism that anything but a Klan hood and a burning cross is considered "debatable." As Heather "Digby" Parton warned at Salon on Monday, this is "an old strategy by right-wingers that inexorably mainstreams their beliefs in a way that allows many of them to escape responsibility." Republicans let the loudmouth...

"Let me be perfectly clear, I did not author this paper," he said...

During a Monday morning appearance on CNN’s  New Day, the target of his derision was recently elected Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and her ill-fated America’s First Caucus, which has earned broad criticism for including nativism-cum-racist rhetoric. Calling himself a “radical Republican” because he doesn’t automatically jo...

Greene Drops Plan For ‘America First’ Caucus After Backlash Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said she is not recruiting members for the so-called "America First Caucus," after members of Congress from both sides of the aisle condemned the caucuss overtly racist and white supremacist platform. A spokesperson for Greene, Nick Dyer, told CNN on Sunday that Greene was "not launching anything," and even tried to distance the Georgia Republican from the offensive rhetoric in the c...
