    btw, I actually even read the statement the good Congressman wrote to clarify.

    It's really sad he has to waste time responding to this crap instead of, you know, representing his constituency.

    King's pretty clearly an idiot, at best.

    I'm all for pressing the brakes on labeling everyone a racist but there's no defense of "white supremacist". That's either a colossal fuckup, or more likely given his track record, a Freudian slip.

    I think the r word fits King just fine.

    The house minority leader disagrees with you. I didn't realize you were such an R dicksucker.

    House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on Sunday said “action will be taken” against Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) over his recent comments to The New York Times questioning why terms such as “white supremacist” and “white nationalist” are considered offensive.

    McCarthy said on CBS’ “Face The Nation” that he will meet with King on Monday to discuss the veteran lawmaker’s future in the Republican Party.

    ″That language has no place in America,” McCarthy said on the program. “That is not the America that I know. And it’s most definitely not the party of Lincoln.”

    He continued, “Action will be taken. I’m having a serious conversation with Congressman Steve King on his future and role in this Republican Party.”

    He is a little too comfortable playing footsie with some despicable characters. No one should be trying to defend white supremacy.
