He can join the queue for asylum in Europe

Did he abstain?

Sometime in the 1960's is when it became offensive. If you go back to the 1870's, it was normal to think white people were superior and everyone, even anti slavery people, considered black people to be animals. In 1910, the president was in the KKK.

There isn't any explanation for this behavior. Maybe the blue wave made them look in the mirror.

Who was the 1 outstanding vote?

Hopefully every politician realizes the media isn’t a friend and will not treat a non-democrat fairly. Calling a white male a racist is excepted today with ZERO pushback! maziehirono is a prime example of the new order..sit down, shut up, and accept what’s coming to you!

for what telling the truth. most of you should take a lesson from him.

Who was the one? Why didn’t you report it?

Steven King has been advocating White Supremacist ideology for decades, only GOP has realized it. Funny!

The 1 was a Dem from GA because they want a full censure.

For those who want to know:

He voted against himself, just like his contributors told him to.

Who was the 1?!?

Funny they can do all of this to him but can't grow a spine to call out Trump for his racism and for bragging about sexual assault

Good.

Yeah...that oughta hurt. Impeach him .... set a standard.

Oooh scary.....

Did he vote for himself?

Ooh, so he gets a stern talking-to? That’ll teach him!

Finally GOP taking action. Will they address Trump’s racist comments ?

was Steve the 1 against vote?

Who voted no?

Unfortunately, King's remarks represent what many see as the face of today's Republican party...Wonder why.

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.
