Taylor Greene defends 'America First' effort, pushes back on critics
By Tal Axelrod - 04/17/21 02:44 PM EDT Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) defended her efforts to form a pro-Trump caucus in the House of Representatives, saying she would push forward with forming the group but distancing herself from nativist language the group has espoused.
Greene said in a statement that she had not read a staff-written draft from the "America First Caucus" that calls for a "common respect for uniquely Anglo-Saxon political traditions."
"On Friday, sick and evil POS in the media attacked me with phrases I never said or wrote. They released a staff level draft proposal from an outside group that I hadn’t read. The scum and liars in the media are calling me a racist by taking something out of context," Greene tweeted.
"It’s more proof so-called journalists lie and create false narratives," she continued. "The media are the ones focused on race & use it to divide the American people with hate through identity politics."
