Hill]:

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) suggested Friday that the House will take some punitive action against Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), who’s under fire from both parties for recent comments defending the “white supremacist” label.

“We’ll see what we do about Steve King, but nonetheless, nothing is shocking anymore, right? The new normal around here is to praise white supremacists and nationalism as something that shouldn’t be shunned,” Pelosi told reporters in the Capitol.

Pressed about what specific action the House might take, Pelosi declined to get into details.

“I’m not prepared to make any announcement about that right now,” she said. “But needless to say, there’s interest in doing something.”

Republicans own this problem. They should have done something a long time ago, now they have to own up to their "Lack" action along with Kings actions.
