If the Freedom Caucus thinks it's so great, why doesn't it publicize its membership roster?

The Freedom Caucus does not publicize its member roster. But it is believed to contain roughly 35 to 40 members.

2. Could it be .... shame?

Nah, Republicans are shameless. It's because they're just smart enough to know it would hurt them on election day.

3. Conspiracies work best when secret.

Publish the names and everybody in the cloakroom will know who's sleeping with who.

5. I don't think this should even be legal in. Accordance with the Constitution

A clandestine organization operating secretly to undermine, sabotage, and ultimately destroy the Federal Government?
Now you see what that gets you.

6. They support that super special SECRET freedom.

You know, the freedom to get away with stuff.

How accurate the list is, I don't know. But it makes sense that the idiot Mark(I hiked the Applachian Trail all the way to Argentina) Sanford would be in this league of crazies.

History

During the crisis over the funding of the Department of Homeland Security in early 2015, the Caucus offered four plans for resolution, but all were rejected by the Republican leadership. Politico reported that one of the caucus leaders, Rep. Raúl Labrador of Idaho, said the Caucus will offer an alternative that the most conservative Republican members could support.[11]

During the October 2015 election for Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the Freedom Caucus endorsed Daniel Webster over Kevin McCarthy, the House Majority Leader.[12] Rep. Reid Ribble resigned from the group following McCarthy dropping out of the race.[13]
