BREAKING......Steve King is stripped of all Committee assignments. .... [View all]

Steve King of Iowa has been stripped of al his Committee assignments. He is basically useless now. Just heard on MSNBC.

King's words and actions have no place in Congress. I hope the man in the White House is listening.
