Wisconsin embarrassment Tom Tiffany looks to revive Know-Nothing Party

 
The more things change, the more some dolts remain the same.

Headline:  American Independent, 3/15/2023


According to Encyclopedia Britannica....
Know-Nothing party, byname of American Party, U.S. political party that flourished in the 1850s. It was an outgrowth of the strong anti-immigrant and especially anti-Roman Catholic sentiment that started to manifest itself during the 1840s. A rising tide of immigrants, primarily Germans in the Midwest and Irish in the East, seemed to pose a threat to the economic and political security of native-born Protestant Americans. In 1849 the secret Order of the Star-Spangled Banner formed in New York City, and soon after lodges formed in nearly every other major American city.
