Washington — If Republican Rep.-elect Allen West wants to join the Congressional Black Caucus, he’s welcome to do so.
That’s the response out of the Democrat-dominated group after West reiterated Sunday that he wants to be the first Republican to enter its ranks since 1997.
A spokeswoman for CBC Chairwoman Barbara Lee, D-Calif., said Monday that while West has not yet made any formal request to join the caucus, the door is open.
