Ken Buck (R-Colo.) tore into a new GOP caucus promoting “Anglo-Saxon political traditions,”&nbsp;describing&nbsp;it as “hatefulness.”The rebuke from Buck, a member of the hardline Freedom Caucus, marks the first signs of internal division among some of the most conservative House members. Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.), two other Freedom Caucus members, are heading up the newly-formed“The hatefulness of this statement is only surpassed by its ignorance of American history and values,” Buck tweeted, referencing the caucus’s&nbsp;allegiance to “Anglo-Saxon political traditions.”The hatefulness of this statement is only surpassed by its ignorance of American history and values.— Congressman Ken Buck (@RepKenBuck)Buck is the latest Republican to come out swinging against the new group’s platform, which has been panned as nativist and racist.The America First Caucus’s platform maintains that “a certain intellectual boldness is needed” in order to “follow in President Trump’s footsteps, and potentially step on some toes and sacrifice sacred cows for the good of the American nation.”&nbsp;“America is a nation with a border, and a culture, strengthened by a common respect for uniquely Anglo-Saxon political traditions.

We teach our children the values of tolerance, decency and moral courage. Racism, nativism, and anti-Semitism are evil. History teaches we all have an obligation to confront &amp; reject such malicious hate.— Liz Cheney (@Liz_Cheney)✕✕× Close Ad
