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.........
