Washington — Congressional Republicans issued a sharp rebuke to Iowa Rep. Steve King on Monday, barring the veteran lawmaker from serving on any House committees as punishment for comments he made defending white supremacy and white nationalism.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, who had pledged to take "action" against the Iowa lawmaker on "Face the Nation" Sunday, told reporters on Monday evening that the party's steering committee had voted unanimously to deny King any committee posts in the current congressional session. King had served on the Judiciary, Agriculture and Small Business Committees in the previous Congress.
"These are not the first time we have heard these comments," McCarthy said. "That is not the party of Lincoln and it is definitely not America. All people are created equal in America and we want to take a very strong stance about that."

McCarthy is using his White Privilege?
Yet they apparently have no problem with the existence of the Black Congressional Caucus.
SISSY GIRL, McCarthy!
This is so ridiculous. The spineless Republicans are just handing this man’s head to the Demoncrats.
That he was misquoted.
In before the freepers who approve of this action.
Unreal. Meanwhile, those race-based caucuses...
Or a CongressWoman who calls the President certain names
They're pressuring him to resign.
King's mistake wasn't his indelicate language. It was that he went on to win his congressional race after Republican leadership abandoned him. He was supposed to lose like Roy Moore did. The GOP had already written the seat off. But he didn't so now they need to get rid of him.
As President, Trump is zero for five on defending staunch Conservatives.
Judge Roy Moore - Alabama Senate candidate
Scott Pruitt - EPA Director
Ryan Zinke - Secretary of Interior
Two federal judge nominees (need to look up their names) who were attacked by RINOs and Democrats.
Does Trump have even one consequential Conservative in the West Wing or the Cabinet?
Jeezzz if only we had the unity the rats have..I believe they ALL declined President Trump’s invitation to a luncheon to talk about the shut down and none of them, not even one of them showed up! They got what you call Hardcore unity! I just despise the SPINELESS POS Republicans at the hill! Put another notch on the NYSLIMES cap!! Uuuuugh!!
The GOOBer back stabbers. Nice. When are these maggots going after KawLiga Cummings for his Black Supremacy bull****?
where’s the interview tape?
King can get bent, if he had had his way,Clinton would have been President.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
