Yup…
The Republican Hard Right leaning ‘Freedom Caucus’ is STILL around….
The conservative House Freedom Caucus has elected GOP Rep. Scott Perry to be its next leader, elevating an original member and noted ally of former President Donald Trump to the group’s top post.
“For the past six years, I have stood shoulder to shoulder with the men and women of the Freedom Caucus as we have tirelessly fought to hold the line to promote liberty, safety and prosperity for Americans,” Perry said in a statement Monday evening. “I am grateful to continue to carry the torch for these champions of freedom.”
The hardliner group’s current chairman, Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona, was term-limited and will serve in the position until January 1, the caucus said.
Perry, who represents Pennsylvania, has come under scrutiny for his role in seeking to overturn the 2020 presidential election, and his interactions related to those efforts could be of keen interest to the House select committee investigating the January 6 Capitol insurrection….
A perfect choice to lead this group of authoritarians using the word “ freedom” in an Orwellian way.
The last thing these supporters of domestic terrorism care about is “ freedom.” A motley collection of conspiracy theorists ,racists and apologists for the Jan.6 insurrection , they are the epitome of Right Wing extremism in the congress.
Perry himself was a major supporter of Trumps lies about the election.Typical of this ilk he is a liar ,a cheat and a would be thief.He lied about the election,tried to cheat to win it and did his damndest to steal it.A POS who well represent the pieces of extremist filth that belongs to this gang of political thugs and crud.
His office just announced he’s tested positive for COVID and will not say if he’s vaccinated.
Just like our host won’t reveal his vaccination status.
That means neither one is vaccinated.
Yeah and there’s no telling if he’s infected others who may even die from it.
But hey he’s got his “freedom.”
What a dastardly perversion of that word!
I was thinking of the same thing before I saw Jack’s comments.
I don’t know much about Perry. I need to research more about him.
