Pro-Trump lawmakers create "Anglo Saxon Caucus"

[Brittain33]

If Democrats were smart, they would form both a Nordic caucus and a Norman caucus and stage devastating raids on these fools at the same time. Or a joint 1066 caucus.

Thanks for bringing the “why isn’t there a White History Month?” perspective.

...a bicameral caucus consisting of members of the United States Congress who have a strong interest in promoting Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) issues and advocating the concerns of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders...

To ensure that legislation passed by the United States Congress, to the greatest extent possible, provides for the full participation of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and reflects the concerns and needs of the Asian American and Pacific Islander communities;
To educate other Members of Congress about the history, contributions and concerns of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders;

To establish policies on legislation and issues relating to persons of Asian and/or Pacific Islands ancestry who are citizens or nationals of, residents of, or immigrants to, the United States, its territories and possessions; and To provide a structure to coordinate the efforts, and enhance the ability, of the Asian American and Pacific Islander Members of Congress to accomplish those goals.[1]

What's the difference exactly...?

(Theory why this is no big deal)

It’s Greene, Gohmert, and Gosar, shua. We know their beliefs and platform and this isn’t happening in a vacuum separate from those. It’s about racism.

I was wrong. Gohmert is lukewarm about joining it, it may be too racist for him.

Notice how you didn't answer the question.

True, it’s because I don’t take you seriously as a poster. Please don’t take offense, that’s just how it is. If you haven’t worked out yet why racial dynamics aren’t symmetrical and minority rights aren’t the same as pandering to white racism, I don’t care.

Sir Woodbury, the fact that Kevin McCarthy and 97% of his caucus saw this as a bridge too far is why I didn’t bother debating the point with people siding with Greene and Gosar thinking this was a defensible, non-racist idea.

The argument presented earlier in the thread by posters and linked tweets was that it was intrinsically exclusionary to have a congressional caucus only open to one ethnic group ("we don't judge you based on your bloodline") which would apply just as much to the Black/Asian caucuses as it does here. The argument was not that you should have to live by a completely different moral standard depending on what color your skin is.

Hello His Grace,

One, those groups aren’t only “open” to people of that ancestry but are about the interests of those communities, and two, if you go find the posts where I gave objections, I made a very specific different objection to comparing those groups to a white nationalist group which is different than what you’re referring to.
