Will Kevin McCarthy and Tom Emmer denounce Marjorie Taylor Greene’s new racist caucus?

Following $175,000 check to stuff NRCC coffers, Marjorie Taylor Greene circulates racist rhetoric through new caucus organization

National Republican Campaign Committee booster – to the tune of $175,000 – and GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has begun recruiting lawmakers and distributing a policy platform for a white supremacist “America First Caucus” that calls for a “common respect for uniquely Anglo-Saxon political traditions” and infrastructure that “befits the progeny of European architecture.”

The caucus platform attacks immigrant communities, furthers the Big Lie about the 2020 presidential election, and calls on Republicans in Congress to follow the politics of Donald Trump that exploited the racial divide in America and led to an increase in hate crimes against Asian Americans following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.  

Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, NRCC Chairman Rep. Tom Emmer, and every single congressional Republican must denounce Greene’s white nationalist caucus.

DCCC Spokesperson Chris Taylor:

“Minority Leader McCarthy is standing by and allowing extreme figures like Marjorie Taylor Greene to hijack the GOP and turn it into the party of white nationalism and QAnon conspiracy theories. Every single House Republican must immediately denounce this toxic agenda – their failure to do so is a full embrace of Greene’s ugly politics of conspiracy and racism.”
