Conservative Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is scrapping the planned launch of her "America First" caucus after receiving blowback from leaders in her own party, despite confirming through a spokesperson on Friday that the caucus would launch.
Nick Dyer, Greene's spokesperson, told CNN in an email on Saturday afternoon the Georgia Republican is not "launching anything."
"The Congresswoman wants to make clear that she is not launching anything. This was an early planning proposal and nothing was agreed to or approved," he said in an email to CNN, referring to a flier promoting the caucus, obtained by Punchbowl News, that used inflammatory rhetoric.
He added that "she didn't approve that language and has no plans to launch anything."

Gee... you think maybe introducing racist policies at a time when racist tensions are at an all time high is a bad idea? I mean really...

This week the Top 10 is all new live from Burbank! It's all guns all the time, Marjorie Greene proves to be the dumbest person in Congress (again), Iced Earth's guitarist is going away, Ted Cruz takes on the MLB, there's a gay bachelor, and Mike Lindell attempts to take on Amazon. Plus in our weekly investigative piece, Top 10 Investigates - what happens when you attempt to cancel your expensive subscription software? You go through a whole new level of customer service hell, that's what! And in our weekly visit to the Holy Church Of The Top 10 in Holy Shit, our resident pastor spent his week off by watching a whole lot of the Jim Bakker Show, and whew, man, did he have some crazy guests on or what? Too much crazy! Plus we have a new "I Need A Drink" - do we really need President The Rock or Governor McConaghey? This is where we actually cross the line and start drinking and talking politics! Plus it's time for Stupidest State! And this week it's Round 2 Week 1 which means it's the Gun Nut Conference championships! Texas takes on Idaho, one state advances, the other goes home!

(35,706 posts)1. Stupidest state?
We should by all means consider Nebraska, who had ANOTHER shooting at a mall and yet their idiot repuke governor, Ricketts, wants to make it a "2nd Amendment sanctuary state."
They are the trumpiest of the states.

(597 posts)2. Yeah if I could go back Nebraska should have been included this year.
But that ship has long sailed. Although I will say in terms of guns, Nebraska's got nothing on Texas which has something like 10,000 pieces of pro-gun legislation either ready to go or have already been voted on. And it's led by Dan Patrick and Greg Abbott, both of which floated the "sanctuary state for guns" idea.
