Conservative lawmakers form House Freedom Caucus

A group of the most conservative House lawmakers have formed a new caucus advocating many of the principles supported by the Tea Party movement.
Reps. Scott Garrett, Jim Jordan, and others announced the establishment of the House Freedom Caucus, which the lawmakers said will promote “an agenda of limited, constitutional government in Congress.”
In addition to Garrett of New Jersey, and Jordan of Ohio, the new caucus includes Reps. John Fleming of Louisiana, Matt Salmon of Arizona, Justin Amash of Michigan, Raúl Labrador of Idaho, Mick Mulvaney of South Carolina, Ron Desantis of Florida and Mark Meadows of North Carolina.
“The House Freedom Caucus gives a voice to countless Americans who feel that Washington does not represent them,” the lawmakers said in a statement. “We support open, accountable and limited government, the Constitution and the rule of law, and policies that promote the liberty, safety and prosperity of all Americans.”

Why don’t these members form their own political party? They are fighting with the Republicans and the Democrats.
Call their party the Conservative Party, the T Party or the Freedom Party but don’t pretend that they are Republicans. What ever happened to the Conservative party?
“Conservative” and “Freedom” should never, ever, be used in the same sentence.
perhaps you have confused between freedom and freeloading
I’m sure their purpose will be to keep diverting funds to the red state brethren… https://wallethub.com/edu/states-most-least-dependent-on-the-federal-government/2700/
