| Multiple far-right House Republicans have begun planning and promoting an America First Caucus aimed at pushing "uniquely Anglo-Saxon political traditions," Punchbowl News first reported.
The big picture: "The document was being circulated as the GOP is struggling to determine a clear direction as it prepares to try winning back control of the House and Senate in the 2022 elections," AP writes.
Of note: "The AP could not independently confirm the organization’s origins or current status, but Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., said he was joining and indicated that fellow conservative Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., was behind it." Punchbowl also noted that Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) involved.
Details: The caucus has distributed documents that say the group hopes to "follow in President Trump’s footsteps." The PDF that's been circulating adds that mass immigration has put the “unique identity” of the U.S. at risk.
In some of the most nakedly nativist rhetoric seen in the modern Congress, the document says: "The America First Caucus will work towards an infrastructure that reflects the architectural, engineering and aesthetic value that befits the progeny of European architecture." The group focuses on different areas of policy — including immigration, education, foreign aid and election fraud — it says should "be re-examined from the ground up to ensure that what remains keeps the interest of Americans at heart."
