"The House @freedomcaucus exists to save our country and preserve freedom, not manage our decline. That’s what I love about this group. I look forward to continuing the fight alongside my HFC colleagues to advance the MAGA agenda and fight for conservative principles," he added.

"I found in my first year in Congress that there are two types of Republicans: those who want to save America and those who want to manage our decline politely," Fine noted, according to The Daily Signal. "They were unquestionably the group whose values were most in line with mine."
