House GOP Leaders Move To Strip Rep. Steve King Of Committee Assignments

Identity politics is racist.

How about plain old expulsion GOP? Nothing short would suffice.

Putin will use this information also. Trump does nothing without his approval.

Now if they could just say something to our leader on the subject.....

Politics1com The left says everyone on the right is a white supremecist or a nazi, that’s the issue

Who the hell writes this shit? White supremacy is virtually equivalent to the Nazis and the KKK. Just an FYI. Are we defending the Nazis and the KKK? If so, why?

As Ocasio-Cortez has very correctly stated, don't use 'racially charged', cut the crap and say what Steve King is racist. If King and Trump aren't racist then the word is meaningless. Why on earth would you coddle these rattlesnakes?

Formal censure should be put into place as well.

Great step. Now push for a vote on the budget bills. Federal employees should not be used as pawns for political games! Back2Work TrumpShutown GovernmentShutdown

Now they need to remove Individual 1 resist

Well, King just said what many GOP politician really believe, maily Trump.

Contrived distraction

AngieLCarter I wonder what made this offensive comment worse than any of these 100 others?

Won't help, ship has sailed...

You mean because hes bound to lose his next election

And it only took them years and years of racist comments to take action.

I guess he got an answer to his question

So what about TrumpRacist ?

There is no cure for stupid

Good start, but King should be removed from Congress.

Silly.

GOP: ' Dude, you can't say that stuff out loud, remember we talked about that?'

Great, now do realDonaldTrump

Wow, y’all waited long enough! Now do something about trump

I'd say he has his answer now.

He is the most disgusting (more than trump even who also is a animal abuser). King has put forth some of the most cruel bills for Animal Abuses.

Political Correctness causes this, it is destroying our country.

How difficult is it to say “racist comments?” Racially charged isn’t a thing. Racism is what racism is. Please stop trying to give it another name.

Proves that you get busted if you say it out loud and think the fuhrer will help you.

Took 'em long enough. I guess denial can only go so far. 🙄

So questioning why 'white supremacist' is offensive is more heinous to Republicans than trashing the office of president and most of our democracy.

I think psychological principles of pack mentality need to be taught to all. By the way every person claiming they aren’t biased doesn’t recognize their own faults, and are the true evil.

They have let him say this crap for years

This happening only because Rethuglikkkans got trounced in the mid-terms and they need to pander to moderates again.

The Grand Ol' RacistGOP is alive & well. Yet another reason to VoteBlue

Does anyone actually investigate anything?

I have another suggestion: Rodney Davis, cutter of food stamps and employer of assaulters.

If white supremacist is the new N word then STOP USING IT

Next question, 'when did the Republican party become associated with white supremacists?'

Removing him from committee makes no difference, he didn’t do anything anyway except vote to re-name a post office 😏🙄

tamarabrock Even so, they are still happy for him to represent the party. Pathetic double standard.

I'll begin to believe they care when they move to censure him.

Wow, losing his spot on the House Judiciary and Ag committee and his spot on the House Segregation committee in the same day? THE GOP IS FIRM IN THEIR COMMITMENT TO FIGHTING RACISM

😂😂😂. Oh now they care?

Took them long enough! But glad they removed him!

They will continue to mull until he falls out of the news cycle, then they can stop all the mulling.

Why does the media have a hard time calling SteveKingIA what he is? Steve King is a racist and a white nationalist. Anyone can see that.He's been one for years. Only now is he stupid enough to drop the subtlety. The media needs to label him clearly.

Finally. One step at a time-clearly at a turtle’s pace.

It is offensive. 👀

Too little, too late!

Racist.

About time they grew some stones. Now remove Trump.

'Racist comments' not 'racially charged'.

Yeah, what about stripping the other big GOP racist called realDonaldTrump ? GopSnowflake DumpTrump

Gj gop.

it only took this well known racist, to be full blown racist in public, for the nice folks at the GOP to give him a stern frown of the brows. And then they ask why people think they're full of racists and bigots

Now what are they going to do about Trump?

House rejects white supremacy after Rep. Steve King questioned why language offensiveThe House of Representatives on Tuesday voted Tuesday to reject white supremacy after outrage over Iowa GOP Rep. Steve King questioning why using the term is offensive. How about the elephant in the room? Looks like he’s thinking, “Are they gonna find out about me putting my white sheets in the cleaners for the next rally or my crosses I'm building in my back yard.” The house of representatives had an 'all but one' unanimous vote on this. Getting the house to approve something like this really speaks volumes for how bad this is. This is why we must elect good, qualified people to represent us. Not the shock jock flavor of the week.
