King to vote for resolution rejecting white supremacy

Source: The Hill

Embattled Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) said Tuesday that he would vote in favor of a resolution to condemn white supremacy in the aftermath of GOP leaders moving to strip him of any committee assignments.

The House is slated to vote later Tuesday afternoon on a resolution from Majority Whip James Clyburn (S.C.), a senior member of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), that's meant to be a response to King but doesn't rebuke him directly.

The resolution states that the House “once again rejects White nationalism and White supremacy as hateful expressions of intolerance that are contradictory to the values that define the people of the United States.”

Clyburn tailored the resolution, which does not directly rebuke or criticize King, as such to draw bipartisan support.

a House resolution denouncing white supremacy is necessary.

Gee thanks, President "Very fine people on both sides".

he has been the laziest, least productive congressman ever. So I think the very thought that he could lose one of the cushiest jobs in the world may have woke him up.

Get all his right wing supporters like Limbaugh and Anne Coulter, David Duke etc...anybody who has a platform, to tell him NOT to sign. Let them portray signing as a surrender of the white race. Make him get so outrageous that he gets himself kicked out from the House itself.
