Resign? 'You're Fired' oh wait, that's a different reality show. My bad...

Just in case you want to take a break from being an arm of the Democratic party.

Racist

and the new dems can say whatever and get a pass...double standard much. i am dem and i don't like this march toward socialism....i will not vote for this shit. and his remark just sounded stupid not racist

Good he should!

That’s just not true.

King looks like the demon in Supernatural that killed Sam and Dean's mother.

At least he'll be free to put the hood back on without any need to hide.

What would anyone expect?

Why are they so upset by what he said, but no one bats an eye when their fearful leader says and does worse things?

Whatever, he can force them to vote him out, he is going to stay, do nothing, and collect a paycheck. Then get a nice retirement package and go join Britbart or Alex Jones. If GOP wanted him out should vote him out.

No salvation for him, he just needs to go.

Lmao hahahahahahahaha how insulting to the very “smart” people of Iowa 😂

Ridiculous! Did he rape someone, expose himself to others, steal from the people or his colleagues? Nope u just don't like his wording!! Well I don't like Kamala or Amy stating that u can't be a government employee if u have a religion!

Is this the klansmen?

Franken resigned just for a photo.

Yes, Resign or be outcasted and shunned by your colleagues. Go away.

1. Why is this even a question-racism has no place in our society. 2. Why did it take so long to ask the question.

Racist Steve and all Republicans should resign..... they've known this for years....... something smells fishy!

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
