Although former President Donald Trump has been gone from the White House for almost three months, many far-right Republicans in Congress continue to push an equally nativist “America first” agenda — and Punchbowl News is reporting that some of Trump’s Republican allies in the U.S. House of Representatives are putting together an “America First Caucus” based on “Anglo-Saxon political traditions.”
According to Punchbowl, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Rep. Paul Gosar of Arizona are “distributing materials” calling for a caucus that would express a “common respect for uniquely Anglo-Saxon political traditions.” Punchbowl reports that according to an e-mail invitation it has obtained a copy of, House Republicans who have been invited to join the America First Caucus include Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas and Rep. Barry Moore of Alabama.
