Sounds like there’s friction inside the newly bipartisan Congressional Black Caucus.
Florida Rep. Allen West, a freshman Tea Party-backed Republican, said that Rep. Keith Ellison is “someone that really does represent the antithesis of the principles upon which this country was established.”
West made the remark when asked a question referring to Ellison’s religion. Ellison, also a member of the Congressional Black Caucus, was the first Muslim elected to Congress.

This is indeed good! Allen West obviously did not join the Congressional Black Caucus to make nice and roll over. He is there to challenge them.

Love Lt. Col.and Congressman, Allen West! He gets it; and he is not afraid to speak his mind; w/o PC filters. I pray he does well; stays safe and continues on his most patriotic journey.

Thank you for that. West is fearless and has a superb command of history that he summons to underscore his points. Incredible. If he ever considers higher office, I’m all in.
