Kinzinger: Republicans who join 'America First' caucus should be stripped of committees

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Rep. Adam Kinzinger (Ill.) blasted fellow GOP lawmakers who plan to join the "America First Caucus," saying anyone who becomes a member should lose their committee assignments.

Kinzinger, a vocal critic of former President Trump, tore into the caucus after it was reported that GOP Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.) and Paul Gosar (Ariz.) would lead formation of the group.

The caucus calls for promoting "Anglo-Saxon political traditions," and several House Republicans came out Friday to criticize the group and its policy platform.

"I believe anyone that joins this caucus should have their committees stripped, and the Republican conference should expel them from conference participation," Kinzinger tweeted.

1. We should send all that join white sheets...for their appropriate costume

Jim Crow racist MF's. What next burning crosses in Congress?

[AZ8theist]

7. Don't forget the book burning....

[NoMoreRepugs]

2. This is 2021 isn't it? The Orange Douche trump has managed

to put the RePutinicans into a “WayBack” machine and land them in 1930’s Germany.

3. They just love advertising their fascist tendencies, don't they?

America First people in the 30's were the ones who wanted to let Hitler do as he wished, and didn't want to allow Jewish refugees from his atrocities onto our shores.

In fact there might've even been a congressional caucus called exactly that back then. I'd have to look it up but I feel I read that somewhere.

[demtenjeep]

4. exactly

this is beyond stupid

[oasis]

5. Nut job legislators should have the least amount of power.

[MustLoveBeagles]

9. +1

[joetheman]

6. And citizenship!

[AZ8theist]

8. This is appropriate.

I couldn't think of 2 more vile, ignorant, worthless shit heads to lead a vile, ignorant, worthless shit head caucus.

[vapor2]

16. Wait.........I can think of 2 more

Ted Cruz, Louie Gohmert (Ron Johnson, GymJordan)

[AZ8theist]

25. Let's not forget MY Congressman...

Andy Biggs (R-Nazi)

However, he's already the head of the current House Fascist Caucus...

[BobTheSubgenius]

10. I agree completely with Kinzinger.

Surprised? Sure shouldn't be...and I bet you're not.

[Sucha NastyWoman]

14. Just don't see why he sees Kinzinger thinks he's a Republican

Manchin is more conservative than he is.

He and Lisa Murkowski should belong to us.

[BobTheSubgenius]

19. I care less about what they call themselves and more about them voting Blue.

So, yeah. They should.

[ProfessorGAC]

22. Not Really

Kinzinger is a conservative. What he is not is either of fascist or a religiously indoctrinated nutjob.
He voted against impeachment of T---p the first time. He voted against the Biden's stimulus plan because "expensive, too broad" something, something.
I live in that district, and I assure you he's a conservative. But, he's not crazy and this district is just purple enough that crazy wouldn't sell. He knows that.
I do believe the "suckers & losers" stuff was the final straw, but he was critical of the fraud since before the '16 election.
His dislike of the "scorched earth" element of his party is real, but he's no dem.

[Sucha NastyWoman]

23. No, but I think you could be financially conservative and socially liberal

(Or even moderate ) and still feel more comfortable in our party than theirs.

[ProfessorGAC]

24. Not Seeing It

He's not a rabid anti-choice type, but he's not open about right to choose.
Kind of riding the fence there.
He's not shown signs of being a racist or xenophobe, but he hasn't made statements supporting BLM or similar groups.
He's far from liberal, but his party has skewed so far crazy right that he looks liberal by comparison.
In his defense, he does appear to have scruples & a moral center, so trumpism was a bridge too far (by a lot). He also believes in government, so negotiations & compromises are in his vocabulary.
All that said, given he wins big, and has won his primaries by even more, he could run as an "I" or "D" and still win.
I think he's seeing a collapse of the crazy wing of the party coming and is positioning himself to fill the leadership vacuum.
Another reason he won't dump the R after his name.

[Bristlecone]

11. They are going straight for open white supremacy

Fucking racist, fascist fucks.

*this really Boils my blood

[Grins]

12. What the fuck are "Anglo-Saxon political traditions"?

White????

A monarchy?

[David__77]

18. Euro-American settler colonialism.

...

[BobTheSubgenius]

20. I'm gonna say......"Trial By Combat."

That's more of a Teutonic thing, but it was probably all the rage in different parts of Europe as well. They shared ideas a lot back them...not always willingly. The patent and IP laws of the day were weak.

[Marie Marie]

13. And we thought the Tea Party was bad. Now they seem quaint.

[BobTheSubgenius]

21. Funny you should mention them. It. What have you.

I was just thinking a day or so ago that I haven't heard a peep about that nonsense for some time. It think all the cool kids have moved on to straight-up sedition.

[lpbk2713]

15. Make them pay for all they have done.

They don't deserve a break.

17. Trump Is Such an Inveterate, Pathological Liar that Even His Slogans Are Huge Lies!

During his presidency, it wasn't America First. Hillary Clinton hit the nail on the head when she correctly pointed out during her presidential campaign that it was actually Russia First. Russia first, Trump and family second, cronies third, and America dead last.
