Republican Virginia Rep. Bob Good, the chairman of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, insinuated the Daily Caller was “leftist” for pointing out that his deputy communications director had pronouns in her LinkedIn bio.

Although Abigail Angelos’ LinkedIn bio says she has been employed at the House of Representatives since Feb. 2023, a communications staffer for Good told the Daily Caller that Angelos began working for Good in Nov. 2023. The pronouns “She/Her” were placed next to her name in her LinkedIn bio as of Thursday afternoon. She removed her pronouns after being contacted by the Daily Caller.

“I thought it was just the leftist mainstream media who wrote click-bait stories with cheap shots at conservative junior staffers,” Good said in a statement to the Daily Caller.

Angelos also appeared to have worked at Fox Corporation as a producer’s associate from August 2021 to February 2023, according to her LinkedIn bio. Fox has a history of using preferred pronouns when covering people who identify as transgender, most notably in the case of Dylan Mulvaney. Fox News channel also aired an entire segment in June 2022 about a family who allowed a 5-year-old child to transition.

Good has mocked pronouns and has staunchly opposed pro-transgender legislation, particularly when it involved minors. Good once called Democratic California Rep. Katie Porter “Person Speaker” rather than Madame Speaker, taking a jab at then-Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson, who said during her March 22, 2022 confirmation hearing that she could not define the term “woman.”

“Thank you, Person Speaker, and I say Person Speaker because I’m not a biologist, and out of respect to our Supreme Court nominee, I don’t feel qualified to say Madame Speaker,” Good said.

The House Freedom Caucus is made up of some of the most conservative members of Congress. Members of the caucus include Reps. Chip Roy of Texas, Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Mary Miller of Illinois, Jim Jordan of Ohio and Byron Donalds of Florida.

This article has been updated to accurately reflect when Angelos began working for Good. The headline has been updated to reflect that Angelos works for Good, not the Freedom Caucus more broadly.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
