McCarthy: 'Action will be taken' over King's racist comments
So former House Majority Leader McCarthy said Sunday that “action will be taken” in response to recent racist comments by Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) that have provoked bipartisan outrage. He also said that Democrats don't take immediate action when someone on their side says similar comments as to say the GOP doesn't tolerate racist comments from their elected members, sure. From the article: King faces a potential censure motion from Democratic lawmakers for remarks he made during an interview with The New York Times, in which he asked when the terms “white nationalist, white supremacist and Western civilization” became “offensive.”
Let's face it, the GOP has been pandering to racists long before Donald Trump hopped on the Birther movement bandwagon to gain presidential creditability -- funny how being the leader of a racist conspiracy gets you presidential bona fides in the GOP. The GOP has also been pandering to racists long before Steve King too, so whatever they do to Steve King now, be it remove him from a committee chair or issue pubic statements about how outraged they are by his comments -- none of that won't change shit in the minds of most Americans as long as they see the GOP continuing to pander (policy wise) to white supremacists.
