Hilarious..

The GOP has looked in the bank and realized they have ZERO voter equity for 2020. They are not suddenly less racist. The smart ones have suddenly realized there is a benefit to appearing so.

When will Democrats start policing Jew-hatred?

Wow, really !

Opinion NOT NEWS

Look at the Democrats now in office who are anti-semitic. Walters hug and kiss Louis Farahkhan

Opinion: Question everyone and everything.

Seriously WP!? And all the anti-Israeli, anti-Semite, anti-Christian, anti-American, anti-police etc. in the Democratic Party and you never batted an eye? Pathetic hypocrisy.

Shiny object.🙄🙄

How about policing the dictator

About time Democrats did the same.

Why don’t the libtards follow suit and do the same?!?! 🧐🧐🧐

The Washington Post still has no interest in the growing antisemitism in the democrat party particularly with the rising support for the bigoted BDS movement.

Democrats opposed the Civil Rights Act. More lies from WaPo

What’s really surprising as your continued lies about President Trump. That’s what’s amazing. The Washington post cannot be relied upon for accuracy. You fell from that perch three years ago

Chuckle

Trump treats everyone the same if you’re an American, thus the unemployment rate is equally low for all Americans. The Democrats are the party that divides us into color, sex, religion and income. They make laws that punish one group and benefit another.

Every party should police racismS!

You don't need a brain to work for WP. Its enough to be a radical activist and Trump-hater.

MmmmmmRrrriiiiggghhhhtttt!!!!!

But the WaPost won't acknowledge it inthe democratic party.

THE REPUBLICANS ARE MUCH MORE ATTENTIVE TO THEIR GROUP BY A MILE WASH. POST

Which DNC SenateDems HouseDemocrats have not discovered yet. (See also vote/debate ‘64-‘65 civil rights legislation.)

Really you old farts. It's 2019 not 1960. Where have you guys been all these years?

But not Russia

At least we do that. Unlike the Democrats, who have normalized hateful people like Farrakhan and Rashida Tlaib in their ranks

Your opinion as usual is too kind ! NOT!

The white BDS, women March supporting progressive who wrote this can GFY.

Amen friends. This is gonna continue to happen as nonracist conservatives and racist conservatives stop being codependent. bigsean we appreciate your heart for your community. LIGHT

Only after half the country scream about him...You guys( GOP) have to use Clorox, and lots of it!

Only if the Democrates did the same

I think their interest started right after the midterms...

What about the racist comments made by the President, are they going to stand up for principles of respect and decency and censure Trump?

Now do Dems and antisemitism

Wow. The GOP is suddenly populated by upright citizens. True patriots and real Americans they are.

Distracting grandstanding

Does that mean trump is next? Goehmert? Cruz?

Way Too little way too late!

The party of Steve King and friends marginally cares about race words, but not about the racism inherent in wall building.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. If we are the party of Steve King you are the party of Farrakhan.

False premise

window dressing... They won't actually kick them out of high positions. Just warn them to shut up about it.

Ok. Now I get it. Sort of. But you know what I think? They need some shred of morality to hang on to as the ship goes down...hoping they will float.

Start with Individual 1.

Please discover an interest in the hidden past that many Democrats would rather see swept under the carpet. 😉

Let’s see them call out one who is actually at risk of losing them a seat.

MyGrannyTheGeek If they were serious, there'd be almost nobody left.

I really wonder why.

Meanwhile, the Democrats venerated Robert Byrd. GFY

About time! Now what about the racist president who won't pay 800,000 employees, destroying lives and the economy? Why not just send Trump to live in Russia?

Guilt ridden Republi-cons are now abandoning the Steve King’s ship, But POTUS is only an extreme version of their dog whistling membership. It was King’s idea to build a wall in 2006, long before the Trumps Bigotry has been a corner stone of the GOP long before these Mugwumps.

They don’t wanna lose the Senate too

Remember Robert Byrd Close pals to Hilary.. longest racist senator in history !

Why are NC nazis ok but IA nazis are bad? Republicans are so fake.

They’re just putting a show for the blinds and the simple-minded! TGOP =trump =(racism +hatred+white supremacy)^100,000000 this equation is clear in everyone’s brain! Start by removing Trump the first racist instigator of the nation,,then I’ll take them seriously!

Why? He’s just saying what the rest of them are saying behind closed doors. Guess they don’t want the cat out of the bag...

Gimme a break. What he said was ACTUALLY white supremacist, unlike 99.99% of what msm tries to peddle as racism.only reason you're criticizing them now is their ACCURATE use of the concept of racism conflicts w your attempts to broaden its meaning to: 'anything that offends me'.

Oh good! The president will be the next to go.

As opposed to Dems sudden non interest in domestic violence perp KeithEllinson?

Too little Too late

Now if they grow backbones and stand up to the Putin/Trump regime it may wash off a little of Trumps traitorous taint.

About time TrumpResign

Not his racism but his mouth.

Now if the Democrats would do the same and the media held them accountable, if only.

It's about time. He's been shooting his mouth off for a long time.

They are failing in everything in moral so maybe this may be affecting their donors and that’s why?

Really?

That’s nice but how about they open the government.

It took them long enough..

Censure!

Maybe the democrats should too!

he is a jurk po /[;\\;\\;

paulwaldman1 How about starting in the White House.

To draw that conclusion based on one instance is premature and deluded because it ignores the biggest proliferator of racism, Trump.

Meanwhile, they allow Trump to put racist policies into action. Unless they start using the power of congress to control Trump, taking King off of a few committees is meaningless.

How do you spell D I S T R A C T I O N......ok looky we did something good.

Yeah no shit. Somehow dehumanizing brown people by every single one of them is ok though!

Little too late they already have the leader in the White House!

Is this a foreboding for Trump?

But can't seem to control their President.

Steve KKKing has been the same racist forever, always supported by GOP until now.

Everything Donald Dust touches turns into dust just look at this fool

Trump, Republicans , KKK and White Supremacists are all the same ! MAGA Molestation for all ! 🍎

You slapped the hand of a known racist. Good for you. Now end the immoral hateful childish TrumpShutdown ChuckGrassley SenJoniErnst LindseyGrahamSC SenatorBurr SenThomTillis SenatorCollins lisamurkowski

The wheels of changing demographics are going to grind the party that offers safe harbor to racists to dust the occasional example scalp notwithstanding. As others have said too little to late with desultory lipstick on their pig.

People evolve

🤣🤣🤣

If this is genuine, aboot farkin’ time ye hosers!

Unless it’s POTUS doing it toward ewarren

Rep. King was a step away from wearing his hood & robe on the Congressional floor, before his colleagues finally decided enough! So all this ‘high’ praise they finally reacted is 💩 floating down river for me!

They prefer to keep their rabid white supremacists at arm’s length and only embrace them in private.

Love this headline!

fakenewswashingtonpost on a daily basis there are anti-somatic, anti-religious comments coming from Democrats yet nothing happens. That is because bullshit newspapers like you and the rest of fake media do not put them to task for their statements.fakemedia

This laughable. Speaker Pelosi should be preparing the vote to remove King from office. This kind of message is the only that works.

“Number of times tweeted about Rep. Steve King's white sumpremacy comments: 8 Times Number of times the Washington Post tweeted about Rep. Rashida Tlaib hosting an antisemitic, Hezbollah support at her private dinner: 0 Times”

OMG! They've either discovered humanity or a means of diverting their shame! Good one GOP. 🤣

Nope. You had your shot at not being racist when obama was elected.

Have the dems ever done it? Examples please.

Dems haven’t risen to that standard yet. They wait for them to retire or die & then do nott

Trump is also a white supremacist.

To little way to late!

They are trying to distract from their lack of policing Trump.

Perspective | Democratic attacks on AOC expose the party’s fear of taking on moneyed interestsIt's not just Republicans who are attacking Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Democratic Party insiders don't like the way she is shaking up the party's plutocrat-friendly approach. When you talk about her her AOC It's not 'radical' to advocate for economic justice. This. This is PRECISELY why SO many people believe that there's no difference between Democrats and Republicans. If the Democratic Party want to be the party of the people (you know, the DEMO part of the word), then it needs to recognize what's at stake and follow her lead.
