He should be asked to resign

What's this, some backbone?

“Caustic nature”, first to be censored for comments to a newspaper, Please don’t ARRANGE my utopia!ARRANGING people of India 🇮🇳 decent to take jobs at Disney? Please don’t ARRANGE my utopia! 300 million people in 🇺🇸, Please don’t ARRANGE my utopia! 🎥300 Charlottesville Ple....

Al Franken

Oooh. I’m shocked. Just shocked his constituents aren’t moving for a recall election.🙄

What about Waters? Farrakhan is at least as bad a racist as King. Or is this black privilege?

Why they don’t remove pelosi and chuck from congress and stop to make up stupid allegations to someone else.

👍

But the divisive racist GOP King will be allowed to take racist votes in Congress. Vote GOP out. Find candidates that believe in decency and equality. King is another GOP stain on Congress.

If anyone is curious to see the sheer number of outright racists who read , I recommend perusing the comments on this article. It’s something else.

Now, why isn’t Talib now censured? More of the double standard.

He’s still drawing a salary! Get rid of him and put a human with a brain in his seat! The people of his Iowan district should rescind his salary!

Probably for the best. Oddly enough this doesn’t happen on the other side when extreme rhetoric is uttered.

You forgot part of the headline that should read “. ..after years of...”

No example of Ryan doing anything like this.

Is there no grounds to remove him completely?

So he can be even more worthless. Just what we need in Iowa.

Is SteveO thinking he’s a sure lock for half the Trump followers? Hey, it’s a number!

This is Censor Ship! All he did was saY something racist and he gets Labeled a racist?! Unfair! When will someone stand up for the whites

This is like not naming an employee “employee of the month” after they got caught shi tting in a customer’s food

Meanwhile, actual racists like Keith Ellison, Maxine Waters, Alexandria Cortez, Sheila Jackson Lee, Rashida Talib, etc...get a pass

Steven King has always been a White supremacist, so are most Republicans.

Republicans are actually trying to save him by simply removing him from committees. He needs to be censured and then fully expelled from Congress. Article 1, Section 5, Clause 2

I bet Rep. Steve King did Nazi this coming...

When Steve King loses Kevin McCarthy, you know you have an issue.

This sucker broke federal laws so++ got to go to prison or++white privilege is in the air

But McCarthy has no problem carrying water for a traitor.

We have elections in order for people to be represented by the people who elect them. While what he said was stupid, so has some of the recent comments by Democrats--Waters, Cortez, others. If he is to be censured this needs to be a wholesale censure of a whole lot of members.

Gee, I guess that leaves more time for him to further embarrass his state by spreading his ignorant backwater views on FOX...

Slap on the wrist.

He made racist comments in an interview given to the New York Times last week.

Kevin McCarthy (R) spoke to King saying 'Dude, those comments are what we say to each other in private wearing our GOP Klan robes, not out there in public!'

He should be seated in a cell for hate speech.

Attrition works! One by one the old fools are imploding! Then gone!

Iowa Republican Steven King stripped of committee assignments after racist remarks.

He’s pretty busy on his other secret committee as the grand wizard

Headline: 'GOP strips racist from committee seats.' Whaddya want a cookie

A rebuke from Iowa: ‘It’s time for Steve King to go’Two Iowa newspapers have added their voices to the chorus of people demanding King's resignation. He's just the 'whipping boy' for the GOP. deflects attention from their white supremacist president. Amazing how congress and the rest of the country can rise up and demand politicians like Steve King and Roy Moore be removed from office... yet, they'll still stand behind a President who's said/done far worse? What about all the horrific things that the Democrat in congress have been saying the last two years. Should they not go also?
