There, fixed it for them.

Substitute the word Republican for the word trump

A number of Trump loyalists plan to join the caucus, according to Punchbowl News, including Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida, who is currently facing a federal sex-trafficking probe.

Gaetz tweeted he is "proud" to join the caucus.
Figures and MTG is a founding member along with Paul Gosar.
Of course, MTG got elected with 75% of vote, her only goal is to be a rabble-rouser for trumpism and should sell well in deep red counties like the TP did a decade ago.

McCarthy says the GOP "......isn't the party of racist dog whistles."?

How does he think the GOP accrued all of those bigots in the first place?

Because the GOP absolutely has been the party of racist dog whistles since the 1960s. Nixons Southern Strategy, anyone? "....Cadillac driving welfare queens", anyone? (GHWB) "When we were Democrats, we could step up to the podium and shout NI**ER, NI**ER, NI**ER and they would vote in droves. From 1968 on, that no longer worked, so now we have to be more oblique...."-(Lee Atwater)

Spare me. The GOP is loaded with bigots today. So much so, the bigots have apparently stopped bothering to hide it.

Today's Republican party is just the warped offspring of the Dixiecrats.
Could be a lot more dangerous too because of the respectful sounding GOP/Republican Party moniker it is not so hiding behind.

GOP faces massive realignment as it sheds college-educated voters
The data suggest that what we are seeing might be more than just a sudden Democratic edge in party affiliation.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/mee...oters-n1264425

...because what educated person would self-identify as a Repube in 2021?

Seditious House Repubes tried to censure Rep Maxine Waters. Shot down. When will these seditionists be censured, and booted from Congress!?

A blazing example of Republican short memory.

This is just fodder for Faux and the Deplorables.
