Steve King Faces Loss of House Committee Seats Over White Supremacy Remark

[Hatuey]

This is the same :bs that got DJT elected.

Why would the prominent Democrats and Trump haters suddenly care anything about what Romney thinks?
Suddenly Romney is Nancy Pelosi's new bff and the haters newest hero. Hahaha!

Remember when Pelosi and her lemmings cast Romney out as a racist leperd? In 2012, Pelosi characterized candidate Romney as a tax-dodging bigot.

What changed? [emoji38]

Congratulations. Not once did you mention Stephen King in your post. I award your post 9 Whataboutism points out of a possible 10. No mention of Obama, the Clintons or Donna Brazile brings the quality down.

Apparently, things are only going to get worse for Steve king. One of his fellow representatives, Bobby Rush, announced today that he is introducing a resolution in the House of Representatives that will formally Censure Steve King for the pattern of xenophobic comments he has said during his career.

I tend to not worry too much unless the workers are actually incendiary, or encourage violence or insurrection. I refer my opinion as the Zeroth Amendment to the Constitution: "The right of the people to be insults, offended, appalled, enraged or to be struck dumb shall not be infringed.


We NEED to hear every voice to understand and be prepared to deal with anything that arises.

Lol, we don't need the voices of KKK members.

No one has asked the Black Panthers or La Raza to draft legislation.

Get serious.

I can't believe how ignorant it is for so many people to use terms such as "white nationalist" or "white supremacist" against people who merely express conservative viewpoints, which are 180 degrees away from those concepts. I can't believe how many leftists call Donald Trump these terms, when he has said or done nothing of the sort.

These concepts are being used as lies against good people like Trump, I know exactly what I think this congressman or whatever is saying.

I saw Kevin McCarthy on the Sunday shows and he looked honestly pissed at King, and came across to me as truly done with Steve King and his bigoted racist nonsense and looked as if he would be glad to see him go - and quickly.

Made me feel better about him, McCarthy that is.

He was between a rock and a hard place. Dems were pushing the issue with King, multiple bills to be presented,
I am now thinking he and the Dems came to an agreement on removal from the 2 committees.

More of that white fabric on sale.

You boys can't stop buying, and I can't stop selling.

Pay me enough and I can supply 3KMs of it.

I ain't lying, fellas.

The modern left does not welcome anyone, the modern left simply attacks whites as a means of virtue signalling. The left is very racist against whites, just is the prior left lead the racist charge against black people in the past.

The modern left also invents new groups of supposed victims, people of "all different genders". What a laugh that is when there are only 2, and the left now claims hundreds or thousands of imaginary genders. The left is racist because it uses division to achieve political power. The left does not have the right to throw off its massive baggage (the KKK, slavery, Jim Crowe, opposition to civil rights) and claim that somehow conservatives "did that".

The truth is that democrats can never erase their stain, that is why we conservatives find ourselves trying to preserve history when the mobs move to tear down statues of democrats. We want people to remember the history of democrats.

I'm sorry but you ignored the history of the Nazis with regard to Jews, LGBT, socialists, etc then responded with something that's just too stupid to engage with. I will note that I'm white and the idea we whites are being attacked is nonsense... Apparently if you're a right winger, being 'attacked' is for someone to disagree with your politics. Boo hoo. Suck it up.

The voters are the ones who decide, not the Washington Elite.

Then the Washinton Elite should leave the matter in the hands of the voters and stop offering biased stupid disrespectful hateful harmful unfair opinions.

Yeah which supremacist group should we listen to? Which religion should we pick go guide our government? No, no, you aren't getting your white supremacist fix.

If he is removed from the 2 committees, he should IMHO
After years of his racist comments the R Party is finally holding him to account.
The Party will have to work years to remove the stink that many people believe is ignored by the Party

House will also vote on Disapproval against King

The republican Party should categorically state they will not support King in the next election

About ****ing time they did something!

 

[notquiteright]

Not holding my breath that these ever increasing demands for conformity and not offending folk is good for us.

Oh PLEASE do it!!!!! :lol:

Was just listening to Prof Cornel West. He stated clearly that WS exists in left, right and center voting blocs. I agree

Snowflake. Suck it up. I get what you are saying, and I can only agree to disagree on this issue. In some ways we are like you leftists, in other ways we are different, as in who's right on this issue, which is my side.

 

[JasperL]

I do not keep up with King, I do not know what else he has said.

OK, then don't object when people who have kept up with him are saying this moron got what's coming to him based on YEARS of this crap.

 

[Bullseye]

Listening isn't being guided, it's being informed and educated. Sticking your fingers in your ears and going "nah, nah, nah" every time someone says something you don't like is idiotic.

The funniest part is that you claimed I ignored LGBT or jews or communists, while I surely did not. That is not proof that I am on the other side and therefore Nazi, that only proves that the left often eats the left.

I am not complaining, I only say I sort understand what he might be talking about. You leftists should at least agree that only white people are subjected to these kinds of terms

 

[JasperL]

No, it isn't.

It's abundantly clear that anyone with a room temp IQ can decipher that King was talking about opportunistic, partisan, race card players.

It's not really about this latest comment. The GOP just got tired of his crap that was obvious enough that Daily Stormer said months ago he was now an "open white nationalist" and "our guy."

 

[Deuce]

Is it? When was the last time in the US a group was called the Congressional Black Caucus, or the United Negro College Fund, or La Raza, or any other "racist" group if the color was different?

Having a group of congressmen get together to discuss problems in a particular community is not the same thing as ****ing nazis. What the **** planet do you live on?

 

[JasperL]

This what he said:



There is nothing wrong with being a member of a race that among other things, changed the world for the better. It was not the long ago that in most of the world slavery was an accepted norm, children were property that could be used in anyway the owner chose, and could be sold. Many races were still in the stone age when they were “enlightened” or “exploited” by Spain, Portugal, France, England, and others predating the USA.

The United States began its constitution with “We the people” without any reference to race. Seeing racism in every phrase is just exercise we go through to try to keep the tribes happy. Let King’s constituents decide.

People in their attempt at “averaging” the races are running a fools errand. What counts is not competition between races, but competition between countries for democratic economic dominance ragardless of who lives in it.

Well, we see racism in the phrase "white supremacy" because it's a racist ideology, by definition. White nationalism is slightly different, but you can't fit the thinnest thread between white nationalism and white supremacy in the real world.

I guess if a group of congressmen got together to discuss issues in the white community I would live on your planet, but that is not possible.
