“He has become too comfortable with proudly insulting, disrespecting, and denigrating people of color,” Rep. Bobby Rush says.

Should listen to his response on the floor. He clearly rejects those labels and the ideology they expouse. NY Times took what he said out of context it sure seems. Media will do anything to paint republicans as haters and of course then the pile on begins.

Too little too late

At least the GOP did their job SpeakerPelosi appoints RepMaxineWaters seen her hugging Farrakhan who HATE for Jews & Whites is WELL DOCUMENTED for DECADES to Head Finance.....

And yet the Democrats do NOTHING about those in their party being advid supporters of Farrakhan

AndrewQuackson I support Rep King.

GOOD! Send him back under the rock he came from. Disgusting piece of s**t!

I wish the GOP would have the same “ moral duty” and censure the President who demeans and belittles people on a regular basis. He is morally bankrupt.

GOP caved in again 🤬

That’s it Congressman King, stand firm, you did NOTHING wrong!!! The Republicans who are persecuting you are WRONG!!! thetalentscout SenatorTimScott tedcruz KevinMcCarthyTV GOP GOPChairwoman

Hopefully the position will be next...

Good move that's long over due for donald as he has done & said everything & more of what king was removed for. It's about time to stand up to the big cheeseburger himself!tim scot

Force him to resign

Haha McCarthy got his ass

It’s about damn time!

Did they forget to tell him ? Seems he missed the memo

Too fucking late.

Over what. I mean what exactly did he say that was actually racist or bigoted in any way? Can someone explain why democrat members of Congress can openly support a man who openly hates Jews yet they are not in a worse situation the King?

NascarChuck336

Why is GOP suddenly anti-racist? It’s been around 25 years. Now they care? Curious.

Now King's got a job he's good at... f---ing paper weight.

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

A bunch of self righteous fools destroying their own. The GOP needs to be cleaned out of the fools that can't fight for the American people.

Why aren't they doing the same to Trump?

IAmSophiaNelson ...and docked his pay...right? ...and denounced all WS...right? GOP is why WS still exists.

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

Wow, I'm shocked. Wonder when they'll get to trump? LOL

But no resignation......

You mean someone finally in the GOP got some balls and did something honorable for a change. Well, it's about damn time!!

Good

AndrewQuackson Cucks

Oh- they finally noticed?

And then?

'Bout time. To be fair conservatives by definition, generally take longer.

He needs to be fired!

Nope, resign

Ouch. Racist knuckles are gonna be sore for an hour or two.

Awww Stevie.

Just think where we can get to if we only re-elect Drumpf.

But it's okay to be anti-semitic, pro Hamas, pro Hezbollah, pro Muslim Brotherhood, anti-American, pro Farrakhan, pro AntiFA---- and vacation in Puerto Rico during a shutdown.

Crazy thing is he should have been kicked off years ago but Speaker Ryan and the complicit GOP continued to ignore his conduct.

That’s a nice step 1. What’s the rest. And when are they going to punish other racist in the party like 45

Only to free up his schedule for when he replaces Mike Pence on the 2020 ticket.

How bout the complete obliteration of the democratic party?

About time.

Another reptile drained from the swamp

How about potus, don’t forget him

Number of new vibrant voters this earned anyone in the GOP: Zero

Shouldn't the man who Eulogized a KNOWN KKK member & a man who voted no more than once for MLK day be shunned as well? Oh ok Obama did that. Gotit SteveKing WalkAwayFromDemocrats

They should. Nice of R’s to make a stand on King while supporting Trump. King is a red herring and political sacrifice though. My old roommate used to say of big tough guys who mouthed off: “I’m gonna kick his ass (pointing at the smallest guy in the room) cuz you said that!”

Big show. He’ll be back in two weeks.

Finally, the GOP stand up to immortality, now it’s up to Iowa to get this POS out of office

I don’t think he is going to go hungry and become homeless like federal workers are because of it. CriminalGOP

Are they going to clean up the rest of the party now?

And exactly does one do when you've been stripped of your Committee positions becuz you're a racist a**hole? You accept a position in the Administration, of course! Stay tuned kids, Trump called King's kinda folks, 'very fine people', remember?

When are they going to strip our racist president for saying many of the same things?

AndrewQuackson He said and did nothing wrong.

Imperial Wizard is still open.

The GOP keeps doubling down on it's demographics problem........... GE, Sears, GOP. Keep it up.

Guess (hopefully-soon-to-be-former) Rep. Steve King’s radioactively-racist toxicity ultimately managed to pierce even his colleagues’ thick skulls—or, to extend “ metaphor, proved too close to the bone.

How about a censure and expulsion from the party. The time for GOP cleansing should start with King and now.

'Too comfortable,' clearly implying that there is a comfort level that the GOP is fine with.

Well done GOP well done

And to think JD Scholten came within 3% of kicking him out. His district knew he was an a-hole, had a viable democrat and still reelected him.

Become too comfortable So, like if he whispers this shit, is that okay Swing and a miss GOP.

I don't care, do u? racist

Well this calls for a 👍 for sure!

And yet if he said black pride who would have gotten a standing ovation ...

Did they take his white costume away too ?

Oh, talk about taking a ruler and slapping as hard as they could on his wrist. I guess we should be satisfied?!? Lol. GOPCorruption

Next stop: the White House!

Cutting Steve King's Committees is an attempt by the GOP to rehabilitate itself as the Party of Racism and Sexism. This goes maybe one thousandth of the way toward that goal.

😂😂😂! It's going to be another long week isn't it?

...and steve king doubled down on his ignorance. He needs to be censured indefinitely.

Republican congressman faces growing pressure to resignJust hours after Republican leadership announced that Republican Rep. Steve King of Iowa wouldn't be seated on any committees this Congress because of recent racist comments he made, there is growing pressure for the congressman to resign — though Republicans are still far from being united around that idea. And yet, there is no similar pressure on trump. I like the 'including from Republicans' part, implying (correctly) how extraordinary it is that some from the GOP would push back against one of their own for musing about white nationalism. Yet realDonaldTrump can call SenWarren Pocahontas in a derogatory way and mock the tragedies of WoundedKnee & Bighorn and no one tells him that's not cool! Why is everyone besides the president having to deal w/the consequences of their racism? NativeTwitter Accountability
