23 PA Republicans establish their own "Freedom Caucus"

https://www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/news/politics-pennsylvania-freedom-caucus-conservative-liberal/

The group is chaired by Dawn Keefer (R-York) with vice-chair David Rowe (R - somewhere in central PA).
The other 21 members aren't listed. I'm not sure why because they formed a group and announced it on the Capitol steps. Surely they must be proud of their membership. Yes?

Their most recent publicity stunt is to sue a local school district because they think they are teaching CRT, which violates a law that was passed last year.
Even the rest of the GOP is outraged. Some have pointed out that these so-called 'fiscal conservatives' have now created a situation where taxpayers are suing taxpayers, and tax money is therefore paying both sides of the suit.

Don't they want their family, friends and everyone else to know the whacky views they hold?
