This should be interesting. Congressman-elect Lt. Col. Allen West (R-FL), will join the CBC, and says he will not “ask” to join, saying that “I’m not gonna ask for permission or whatever, I think I meet all of the criteria and it’s so important that we break down this ‘monolithic voice’ that continues to talk about victimization and dependency in the black community.”
Amen to that!
Congresswoman Barbara Lee (Marxist-CA), the CBC’s chairperson, said he is welcome to join, as is Congressman-elect Tim Scott (R-SC). There’s been no word from Scott if he is planning on joining Col. West, but I hope he does.
They would only the third and forth Republican CBC members. The last black Republican Congressman, Rep. J.C. Watts (R-OK), chose not to join the CBC.
Somehow I can envision Col. West (and Tim Scott, if he decides to join) being asked, in an indirect way, to ride in the back of the CBC bus, until they can figure out a way to throw him under it.
