These Four Women Thought Forming an All White 'Squad' Was a Good Idea
Politics

The so-called “Squad”—comprised of progressive Congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna Pressley, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib—have served less than one year of their freshman term in Congress, and have spent the entirety of that time living rent-free in Republicans’ heads. From Tucker Carlson segments to President Trump’s tweets, the Republican party’s fixation on the Squad has bordered on obsessive. And now, that obsession has come to its most predictable endpoint: a bunch of white women appropriating them. Meet the “Conservative Squad,” a clan of four white women running for Congress in 2020.
The Conservative Squad consists of Alabama congressional candidate Jessica Taylor, South Carolina congressional candidate Nancy Mace, Texas congressional Beth Van Dyne, and Minnesota congressional candidate Michelle Fischbach. They made their world debut Thursday morning on Fox and Friends, promising to combat the “Socialist Squad” and make the Republican party relevant for younger voters.
