Still not talking.
Noting that Goode is a member of the Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus, I tried the group’s chairman, Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-CO). his spokesman was out of the office, so I sent him an email. Did Goode’s anti-Muslim immigration stance square with the position of the Caucus?
(If it does, it doesn’t square with Tancredo’s personal position on the issue: “The immigration issue has nothing to do with race, ethnicity, religion, or country of origin insofar as I am concerned,” he says in an Oct. 3, 2005 policy statement on the site.)
I also left a message with the office of Rep. Tom Cole (R-OK), who’s incoming chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC). Keep your fingers crossed!
