A group of House Republicans introduced legislation on Friday that aims to “prohibit discrimination” in government by banning federal agencies and entities that receive federal funds from granting preferences to individuals based on race, color, or national origin. The Fairness, Anti-Discrimination and Individual Rights Act – or FAIR Act – was introduced Friday by Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-Wisc.), and three of the House GOP’s most prominent minority members – Reps. Burgess Owens (R-Utah), Michelle Steel (R-Calif.) and Byron Donalds (R-Fla.).

A group of House Republicans unveiled legislation Friday that prevents the federal government from discriminating based on race, color, or national origin for employment. The bill, forwarded by Rep.

As the investigation into the origins of COVID continues, a group of Republican congressmen is pushing a bill related to the pandemic. It would treat the new WHO accord on global pandemic responses as a treaty. NTD sat down with Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-Wis.) to discuss his new legislation that “puts accountability into the World Health Organization via the United States government.”

The bill, authored GOP Rep. Tom Tiffany of Wisconsin, states that the government shall not 'intentionally discriminate' on matters of federal employment, federal contracting, or other activities.

Wisconsin Rep. Tom Tiffany spearheaded the bill and was joined by Utah Rep. Burgess Owens, California Rep. Michelle Steel and Florida Rep. Bryon Donalds. “It’s pretty simple. If we are serious about ending discrimination in the United States, the first step is for the government to stop doing the discriminating,” Tiffany told the Caller before introducing the legislation. “It is long past time for the government to take its thumb off the scale and get out of the business of racial discrimination.”

On Feb. 23, Rep. Tom Tiffany, R-Wis., who represents Lac Du Flambeau's congressional district, blasted the tribe in a letter to its president John Johnson, saying the tribal council has attempted to "scapegoat" other parties and noting the tribe has received $213 million in federal funds since 2013.

Rep. Tom Tiffany, Wisconsin Republican and member of the House Natural Resources Committee, called the training a “colossal waste of time and resources.” “The Interior Department should maybe focus a little less on promoting fringe environmental fanaticism in the workplace and a little more on better land management practices and lowering prices at the pump,” he said.

Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-WI) introduced a bill on Tuesday, co-sponsored by 14 Republicans in the House of Representatives, that would ensure the White House must recognize any World Health Organization (W.H.O.) binding international instrument on pandemics as a treaty, thus requiring Senate approval.
