Pricey @mtgreenee & @RepGosar: I’ve some questions on your Anglo-Saxon caucus:
Will non Aryans be allowed to affix?
If that’s the case, do now we have to sit down behind the room as a result of we’re not white?
Can now we have fried rice and nachos in the course of the conferences?

The America First Caucus makes it clear what they are about by stressing Anglo Saxons and Anglo Saxon heritage. Using the phrase non-Aryans by Rep. Lieu is particularly acceptable as a result of Reps. Taylor Greene and Gosar’s language may have been taken straight from how the Third Reich framed its racism.
It could be attention-grabbing for Taylor Inexperienced to reply Ted Lieu.
A sensible politician would have by no means had the thought for an “America First” white energy caucus, however nobody has accused the founders of this caucus of being good.
The caucus is supposed to pander to Trump’s supporters, nevertheless it additionally confirms an essential level. A bedrock of Donald Trump’s help was racism, not financial nervousness, and Rep. Lieu put Greene and Gosar’s racism to the take a look at.
