Steve King removed from committee assignments following racist comments

Republican Rep. Steve King of Iowa has been removed from committee assignments following racist remarks, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy announced Monday, the latest development in bipartisan condemnation of King’s recent interview that appeared to lament that the term “white supremacist” is considered offensive.

McCarthy announced that the House Republican Steering Committee – which oversees committee assignments – met Monday night and made a decision that King “will not be serving on committees in this Congress.”

Back then, which wasn't so long ago, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy punished Steve King because King was viewed as a political liability. McCarthy realized if the party did not disassociate itself from King it would cost it votes.

This is how things are now.

These days, Repub House members who suggest fellow members should be killed, make videos of themselves killing House members, or indicate a belief in a delusional fantasy, are rewarded with plum committee assignments. No longer is there fear such outrages will cost the POT votes. Punishable behavior is a feature, not a bug, in the new POT.

And then there's this guy.........

George Santos says his mom was at the World Trade Center on 9/11. Records show she wasn't even in the country, the Forward reports.

Republicans won and Greene will get her assignments because of that. We will see how long it lasts but lying about your mom?

Yes many politicians lie but lying about your mom?

Republicans will find a way to excuse that one too.

Greene's and Gosar's constituent's unconscionable decision to return them to Congress doesn't require that McCarthy forget all about their past behavior.

The Ds had a guy that was cheating on his wife with a chinese spy on the intelligence committee.
You D rubes have literally ZERO high ground to stand on.

That's not how one should judge themselves. "They are bad so we can also" is why I support neither party.

Meh, any vote against dem tyranny is a win.....Moving on.

That ineffectual remark in no way excuses Kevin's decision to reward the Crazy.

Was there a Dem who suggested a Repub congressman who should be killed who got a committee assignment?

Ok, hack. Move the goal posts because i called out your stupidity.
What wrong doing has MTG done?
Now, go ahead and move them again, shill.

What made Steve King different was the perception his racist idiocy would cost the POT votes.

These days there appears to be no fear of bigoted idiocy among Repub members of the House.
