FIRST ON FOX: A Republican firebrand is pushing legislation to abolish some of the most influential Democratic groups in Congress.<\/p>\n

Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., introduced a resolution Thursday barring the formation of House caucuses organized around race, ethnicity or national origin.<\/p>\n

If adopted, the measure would effectively force the dissolution of Democrat-aligned groups, including the Congressional Black Caucus, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus.<\/p>\n

The proposal could also affect GOP-affiliated organizations, including the Black Republican Congressional Staff Association, the GOP Latino Staff Association and the Republican Asian American Staff Association.<\/p>\n

“Race-based caucuses are not diversity. They are federally sanctioned segregation,” Mace said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “You do not get to lecture America about inclusion while running an organization which checks your skin color at the door. The hypocrisy ends now.”<\/p>\n

“It is time to end taxpayer-funded discrimination in this institution,” the South Carolina Republican added.<\/p>\n

The proposal faces long odds in the Republican-controlled House, where it would likely encounter universal opposition from Democrats and some GOP lawmakers.<\/p>\n

The resolution comes as Republicans’ recent redistricting efforts in several Southern states have reduced the size of the Congressional Black Caucus by eliminating or reshaping multiple Black-majority districts represented by CBC members.<\/p>\n

MACE SNUBS TRUMP’S PREFERRED SENATE CANDIDATE, BACKS RALPH NORMAN INSTEAD<\/strong><\/p>\n

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., who could become the first Black speaker if Democrats retake control of the chamber in November, is a member of the influential group.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to the Congressional Black Caucus, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus for comment.<\/p>\n

It is unclear whether Mace, who is leaving office in January, would push for a chamber-wide vote.<\/p>\n

Mace has spent her final months in Congress rolling out legislation targeting diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies, transgender participation in women’s sports and birthright citizenship.<\/p>\n
