America first was Trump’s slogan that had clear racist implications as a result of what Trump meant by America was white, and anybody who isn’t white is just not an actual American.

The caucus that the Republicans are forming isn’t nativist. It’s racist. Anglo-Saxon and European have lengthy been thinly disguised code phrases for white. Home Republicans aren’t even making an attempt to cover it anymore. They’re the celebration of white supremacy, and anybody who joins the “America First” caucus shall be outing themselves as a racist white supremacist.
