</div><div>Several new Republican members said they are forming the "Freedom Force" to "stand up and fight back against socialism."</div><div>
</div><div><b>Congresswoman-elect Michelle Steel, R-Calif., joined Congresswoman-elect Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y., who both flipped House seats red in November</b>, on "Outnumbered Overtime" Tuesday.</div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">
</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">"I think the left is totally out of line from mainstream America," Steel said, pointing out she is a first-generation immigration with an accent.</span></div><div>

</div><div>"I am grateful to America and I want to show them that I stick to the issues that lower taxes, smaller government, and less regulations, and stop defunding the police," she added. </div><div>
</div><div>Malliotakis said the conservative group is "bonded by a love of this nation and opposes the radical agenda of The Squad -- which includes progressive Democratic Reps.

</div><div><b>"Right now it's under attack by those members of the socialist squad,"</b> she said, "who are looking to chip away our freedoms and really dismantle our economy and really our country and we need to fight back and we're really passionate about that."</div><div>

</div><div>“I believe that some of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, when they think of socialism, they think of communism and think of the government controlling everything and people being disempowered within democracy, and I think that's an incorrect definition, that's not how I define it," he argued.</div><div></div></div><ol class="references" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 3.2em; padding: 0px; list-style-image: none; counter-reset: mw-ref-extends-parent 0 list-item 0; list-style-type: inherit;"><li id="cite_note-20" style="margin-bottom: 0.1em; break-inside: avoid-column; counter-increment: mw-ref-extends-parent 1; counter-reset: mw-ref-extends-child 0;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><span class="mw-cite-backlink" style="user-select: none;"><b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byron_Donalds#cite_ref-20" aria-label="Jump up" title="Jump up" style="text-decoration-line: none; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none; background: none;"></a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><cite class="citation web cs1" style="overflow-wrap: break-word; font-style: normal;"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/nov/30/republicans-freedom-force-squad-burgess-owens" w="w" resources="resources" src="src" mediawiki.skinning="mediawiki.skinning" images="images" external-ltr.svg="external-ltr.svg" right="right" center="center" no-repeat="no-repeat" padding-right="padding-right" px="px" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none; background: url("");">"The 'Freedom Force': Republican group takes on the Squad and 'evil' socialism"</a>. the Guardian.</cite><cite class="citation web cs1" style="font-style: inherit; overflow-wrap: break-word;"> November 30, 2020.</cite></span></font></li></ol></div><div style="font-size: small; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"></div>
