Young Turks (U.S. politics)
The Young Turks was a splinter group of politicians in the United States that broke off from the main Republican Party (GOP) during the early 1960s. The members of the group were mostly Congressmen, who had become disenchanted with the GOP, and were eager for change. They worked within the system to appoint their fellow members into leadership roles, so they could take control of the party. They were considered "rebels" by the traditional Republicans,〔 in a similar manner that the Tea Party Congressional Caucus politicians were perceived by the 21st century Republican establishment. Gerald R. Ford, who would become President of the United States, was a Young Turk.
==History==
In the early 1960s, after Democrat John F. Kennedy had been assassinated, the Republican Party had eroded. Some of the members, especially younger congressmen, were questioning the party's viability and future direction. This set of circumstances inspired the beginnings of the Young Turks group.〔
There doesn't seem to be any consensus among historical accounts regarding who the primary instigator(s) was. However, all versions generally agree that Charles E. Goodell (New York), Robert P. Griffin (Michigan), Gerald R. Ford (Michigan), and Donald H. Rumsfeld (Illinois) were some of the earliest members. According to an article that appeared in New York Magazine in 1975, Goodell and Griffin got together in January 1963 and came up with a plan to supplant one of the elder statesmen, Charles Hoeven, who was Chairman of the House Republican Conference. They solicited Gerald Ford as the challenger. Ford agreed and won the ballot, becoming the new Chairman.〔
