A new “America First Caucus” led by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene & Rep. Paul Gosar is recruiting members of Congress to join based on “Anglo-Saxon political traditions.”
John, let me be clear: this is nothing more than a White Nationalism Caucus.
And even as a Congressman of Anglo-Saxon heritage, I refuse to even acknowledge the idea of joining something as horrific as this.
White nationalism is a persistent and growing threat to our country. Right now, hundreds of white supremacist groups are actively operating online.
Over the last four years, Donald Trump and the GOP have done little to try and put an end to these groups. John, I am fed up — ignoring homegrown supremacist extremism is no longer an option.
After the January 6 insurrection, it became clear that white extremist violence is one of the biggest threats to the safety and security of American democracy. We need to put our democracy first and put an end to these groups for once and for all.
John, I pledge to do everything in my power to defeat this caucus. If you’re with me, sign the pledge below to show the GOP that white supremacy has no home here.
Thanks,
Eric |
