'America First' caucus to protect "Anglo-Saxon traditions" sparks wave of memes, jokes

Twitter users have poked fun at the aspirations of a group of ultraconservative House Republicans looking to launch a caucus that aimed to protect "Anglo-Saxon political traditions."

A seven-page document outlining the vision of the proposed "America First Caucus" has been criticized as promoting nativist ideas, as it warns that mass immigration was putting the "unique identity" of the U.S. at risk.

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) told journalists that he was considering joining the congressional caucus, which would give a forum for like-minded lawmakers to pursue shared political objectives.
