Rep. Steve King, hellbent on making a congressional comeback, is vowing to look at all procedural options to force his way back onto the committees from which he was exiled.
Rep. Ralph Norman briefly stood up during a Republican conference meeting on Tuesday morning to urge his colleagues to reinstate King on the House Agriculture and Judiciary committees. But not a single lawmaker clapped, cheered or remarked on the request, according to several sources in the room, and lawmakers quickly moved on to the next issue.

But each day that goes by, my patience gets thinner and thinner. And that means, then, that I have to turn this up,” King said.
It’s people fighting for the truth!!!!
You'd think his constituents would have seen what a jerk he is and voted him out. A feral cat would be a worthy opponent against King.
He needs to stay in exile!
Mr. King is no king.
WOMP WOMP
Thoughts and prayers 🤡
Probably the first time he ever thought a lynch mob was a bad thing.
Oh, NOW he wants rights?
Awe the racist is mad lmao🤣🤣🤣
That's a real weird thing for SteveKingIA to compare it to given the history. Pretty sure what he has experienced is nothing like a real lynch mob, political or otherwise. He's just a whiny little Klansman.
Oh, poor Steve, playing the victim! Straight out of the right-wing/Trump playbook!
Just leave Congress!!!!
IOWA!
“Lynch mob”? Could this racist be more tone deaf?
iowa will vote for him. again. and again. and again. its telling why he is still serving, despite all his tom foolery.
Hds a racist and white supremacisist.
If you’re too horrible for the Republican Party......... just wow.
Or good people on all sides do not want to associate or support and open white supremicist
RepSteveKingIA Mister, if you’re looking for sympathy, you’re on the wrong street corner. No one here has any interest in listening to your whining. No morals, no ethics, no credibility, no gop ...
Racist through and through, but obviously sidelined by fellow racists called Republicans! Phony bologna!
First time Steve King heard of a lynch mob he didn’t support.
“Lynch mob”. Strange term for him to use
So an avowed racist is claiming to be politically “lynched”. 🤔
How did you feel about Al Franken?
Hood on or hood off?
Self-inflicted
steve king … this had nothing to do with a political mob just had to do with your being a racist
He's going to round them up and put them in camps.
I know, move to another country.
This POS would certainly know about those
how ironical that white supremacist complains about and calls his opponents 'a ... lynch mob.'
Such irony.
And he’s kind of an aficionado.
And this guy knows a LOT about lynch mobs !
Old white man denying he’s extinct and powerless’
Suffer your consequences you created the mess you need to be out of office he doesn’t represent constituents he represents evil
Franken can likely advise you about surviving Lynch mobs and life after resignation. You should resign.
The GOP leadership’s ostracism of King was probably done for politically expedient reasons, but it was also the right thing to do
No one cares
Is everything he says racist? Can he even help himself? Seriously, get a pr team
Again, with the racially-charged language! You’re drunk, Klansman. Go home.
SteveKingIA clearly doesn’t know the history of lynch mobs if he’s using them with himself cast as the victim
I am sure the KKK will back him up
Funny how a racist immediately goes to that particular reference.
One of the most awful people to ever hold a Congressional seat. The day this SOB is booted from the House once and for all will be a great day.
Wait, is he trying to say he's in favor of it
And King is an expert in lynch mobs.
It was a good thing they did this. However the people who elected him have racism in their blood.
I’m glad he’s out BUT...considering most of the GOP have the same philosophy but keep it hidden...provides a ring of truth to the story!
Ahhhhh...the last refuge of a racist, 'It was a lynch mob' what got me!
...yeah, don’t bother, nobody is interested in your twisted state of mind...nobody....
It’s insensitive quotes like this that got King in trouble in the first place. Guess he hasn’t learned anything.
GOP didn't finish the job. Should have hung the sonofabitch.
If it was you wouldn’t still be there.
Why is this guy still around?
Go back to your cave
What goes around comes around
Yes, because he's so innocent, just like trump, No collusion No Obstruction!
'I knew you were an ambusher when you walked in the room.' SteveKingIA
Now you know how they felt. Imagine if your mob had worn hoods.
Is there any other legislator in congress that has a greater ability to say the wrong thing a the wrong time?
No one cares about him anymore. Just another racist who went too far. Not very bright
He needs to stand in front a political firing squad.
Boo. Hoo. You got caught being you.
Irony.......... a white supremacist with a persecution complex. 🙄
With a. Little luck he’ll slip and hit his head and go into a coma never to be heard from again. gopunfit
You got what you deserve. You would use a term solely applicable to my people to play victim.
Interesting choice of words from a Congressman who has been accused of white nationalism.
SteveKingIA - “A political lynch mob”. Really? Wow! Steve King proves his racism every time he opens his racist mouth. WednesdayMotivation
The next time Steve King uses the word lynch he gets smacked in the mouth
Oh, boo-freaking-hoo.
Steve King should resign from congress. He can not effectively represent his district.
Pretty sure that the lynching was happening from his crowd WhiteSupremacy
of course he refers to a violent act on African-Americans to victimize himself
Take responsibility it was your racism.
eye for an eye on the whole lynching thing seems fair then
Nah, go ahead and resign, bigot.
It was a political *lynch mob*? This nutbar is made of dog whistles.
And if anybody knows Lynch mobs, it’s this guy.
I wonder if Iowa will keep sending evil piece of shit climate crisis denying liars to D.C. after those floods.
The IRONY of that statement ... From this man is Uncanny
Give’m hell Steve ! We miss you
Republicans just want to dance on irony’s grave at this point
He shouldn't worry, there is little resolve to remove those unfit for office in Government. They all protect their own.
He would know about those
