Missouri RINOs Retaliate Against MO Freedom Caucus
MOFC receives air support from the national House Freedom Caucus...and wins!
Friends,
It has been less than a month since we helped launch our latest Freedom Caucus in the great state of Missouri and they’ve already upset the Swamp in Jefferson City so much that their RINO leaders retaliated against them.
Last week, the Missouri Freedom Caucus (MOFC) attempted to pressure the legislature to finally pass Initiative Petition (IP) reform, in order to stop left-wing dark money from being able to influence ballot measures in Missouri. This is an issue that the entire Republican apparatus in the state - including the RINOs - have professed is incredibly important.
The RINO leadership in the MO Senate was holding IP reform up, so the MOFC responded by blocking Gov. Mike Parson’s administration appointments until it was brought up for a vote.
In response, not only did the RINOs that run the Missouri legislature refuse to bring up IP reform, a key campaign promise from the state’s Republicans, but the RINO Senate Pro Tempore Caleb Rowden removed State Senators and MOFC members Rick Brattin, Bill Eigel, Andrew Koenig, and Denny Hoskins from their roles as Chairs and Vice Chairs of various committees.
All they asked was for the senate to pass IP reform. That’s all it took for them to get booted from their committees.
We’ve seen this happen so many times. Our members were removed from committees in Idaho for calling out the special interests that have control over the state government. Our entire South Carolina Freedom Caucus was booted from the GOP Cloakroom for refusing to sign a “loyalty pledge” to never criticize their fellow Republicans (most of whom are liberal). And our Georgia Vice Chair Sen. Colton Moore was booted from the Republican Caucus for calling for an investigation of corrupt Fulton County DA Fani Willis.
It only took less than a month for the delicate sensibilities of Missouri RINOs to rear their ugly heads.
For more, watch this segment that MOFC member Sen. Bill Eigel did with Emerald Robinson.
Even though they got booted from Committee Chairs, the Missouri Freedom Caucus clearly has the support from the Show-Me State’s conservative grassroots.
Just look at how many people showed up to a rally they had in the Missouri Capitol after Rowden purged our members from their committees.
The Missouri Freedom Caucus also got tremendous “air support” from House Freedom Caucus members in DC.
In the end, the Missouri Freedom Caucus won! Leadership buckled and allowed IP reform to pass through the committee and go to the Senate floor. It also clears the way for other conservative priorities to move, like school choice.
The Missouri Freedom Caucus will never stop fighting to give Missourians the conservative leadership that they deserve.
