The No. 3 House Republican is suggesting that Rep. Steve King leave Congress over his remarks about white supremacy.
Wyoming Republican Liz Cheney on Tuesday said of King, “I think he should find another line of work.
House and Senate leaders condemned the remarks, and GOP leaders moved this week to deny him any committee assignments.
Republican leaders noted that King has for years made racially insensitive remarks. Cheney said the most recent ones are “absolutely abhorrent. It’s racist. We do not support it or agree with it.”
The nine-term Iowa congressman says he’s advocating for Western civilization, not racism.
McCarthy Strips King of Committee Assignments
King will be blocked from committee assignments for the next two years, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said Monday night. King served on the Agriculture, Small Business and Judiciary committees in the last Congress, and he chaired Judiciary’s subcommittee on the Constitution and Civil Justice.
Other prominent Republicans who have rebuked King’s comments include Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT).
King Vows to Keep Speaking ‘the Truth’
King called McCarthy’s decision to remove him from committees “a political decision that ignores the truth.” He vowed to “continue to point out the truth and work with all the vigor that I have to represent 4th District Iowans for at least the next two years.”
