‘Not illegal to be white’: The newest MAGA rep who has ‘no interest in bipartisanship’

The GOP’s youngest member in the House of Representatives was sworn in last week, and as the founder of the right-wing news blog, DC Enquirer, 30-year-old Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) is dedicated to carrying out President-elect Donald Trump’s vision over the next four years. Jared Holt — a journalist and researcher on hate and extremist movements in the U.S. — in an op-ed published by MSNBC on Tuesday submits that “Gill’s success in politics is a harbinger for the next generation of Republican politicians ready to replace current GOP members as they vacate their positions: flush with powerful backers, savvy to social media and eager to deliver on the internet-poisoned daydreams of today’s conservative movement.”As a Trump loyalist, Holts notes that Gill’s “campaign appeared to take nearly all of its cues from Trump,” as the MAGA news site creator “has shared anti-immigrant talking points, derided ‘diversity hires,’ echoed far-right memes, shared nonsense about immigrants eating pets and pressed for mass deportations.”READ MORE: ‘Here’s the deal’: Legal experts debunk MAGA’s ‘nutbar fantasy’Furthermore, Holt writes:Lauding Daniel Penny, who was acquitted after he killed Jordan Neely on a New York City subway train, Gill said at a New York Young Republicans Club event in December: ‘I think we need a lot more Daniel Pennys in this country, because there are far too many Jordan Neelys.’ On X, Gill also praised Penny’s acquittal and remarked, ‘It’s still not illegal to be white.’Although last year the 118th Congress was deemed one of the most unproductive in US history, the newest Republican member of Congress, according to Holt, said last month he has “no interest in bipartisanship”.READ MORE: ‘We want retribution’: Atlantic staffer warns MAGA is even more disturbing in-personHolt’s full op-ed is available at this link.
