GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger calls on party to expel "white supremacy caucus" led by Marjorie Taylor Greene
"Republican Illinois Representative Adam Kinzinger has called on congressional GOP leaders to expel members of the "America First Caucus," a newly formed group co-created by Republican Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Kinzinger referred to the group as the "White Supremacy Caucus." The group's seven-page policy platform, released by Punchbowl News, calls for a "common respect for uniquely Anglo-Saxon political traditions" and a return to an architectural style that "befits the progeny of European architecture." Anglo-Saxon is a term for white people related to Germanic inhabitants of 5th century England.
"I believe anyone that joins this caucus should have their committees stripped, and the Republican conference should expel them from conference participation," Kinzinger wrote in a Friday evening tweet. "While we can't prevent someone from calling themselves Republican, we can loudly say they don't belong to us."
